    US Navy F4D-1 Skyrays Aviation Art Print
    - 16" x 24" Print Size
    Depicted here are two Skyrays of US Naval Squadron VF (AW)-3 on patrol heading out over the
    Pacific Ocean
    circa 1961. VF (AW)-3 was permanently based at
    NAS
    North
    Island
    ,
    San Diego
    . This unit was attached to NORAD during the "Cold War" period and was tasked with protecting the west coast from attack by Soviet bombers. The airplanes were nicknamed "Ford" due to their F4D designation. The Skyray was the first naval airplane to achieve supersonic speeds in level flight. This aircraft had a spectacular rate and angle of climb and set a new time to altitude record flying from a complete stop to 50,000 feet in 2 minutes and 36.05 seconds, all while flying at a 70 degree pitch angle.
    This 16" x 24" Giclee print captures the excitement of US Naval aviation during the early days of the jet-age. Our Giclee prints are printed on Heavyweight Archival Matte paper with Epson Ultrachrome professional archival inks. The image is printed on paper with an extra 1" border to allow for matting or framing.
