PRCCESSION FORWARD starts after planes are launched. Like other flight deck operations, respotting is performed at top speed. HITCHING UP to Skyraider, tractor driver applies brakes only for a sec- ond. At destination there is no pause, tow bar is released by lever. FOR PLANE CAPTAINS, A FEW MINUTES ON THE SIDELINES AFTER LAUNCH The strike safely launched, furious action is re- placed by slower but equally efficient movement. Planes aft on the flight deck are moved forward to clear deck for landing, or below to hangar deck, or planes on the hangar deck are brought topside. Ordnancemen and maintenance person- nel tackle their aircraft, arresting gear is checked, plane pushers and directors are at their busiest.

They are loaded on carts below, brought up to flight deck on elevator.
