Interesting shot, note the Soviet contingent in the background, an An-26 and Yak-40.
 
A U.S. Navy F-4S Phantom II aircraft from Fighter Squadron 161 (VF-161) is catapulted from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Midway (CV-41), 1 November 1981. The Midway and her sister Coral Sea were the only U.S. carriers of the 1980s too small to operate the F-14 Tomcat, so the navy kept a small number of phantoms in service on these ships.
