Is this a doctored picture of the last F14 launch?

[MineSweeper]

Not doctored... I believe it was a 64 Ford Fairlane launched off of CVN 65 Enterprise...[:D]

It is a pseudo-tradition...when returning from a deployment I have heard...

[:)] There is a long tradition of throwing things off carriers.....boots being catapulted seems to be a big one...but you name ...they've launched it. [:D]

So a 64 Ford Fairlane, on a carrier and launched into the wind does 0-60 in what - 4.5 seconds? [:D]
