Summary
A Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk aircraft of training wing TW-3 waits behind the blast deflector for its turn at the catapult as another Skyhawk clears the flight deck of the auxiliary aircraft landing training ship USS Lexington (AVT-16) during pilot carrier training. The Lexington was first commissioned on 17 February 1943. In 1963 she became a training carrier until being decommissioned on 8 November 1991. On 15 June 1992, the ship was donated as a museum and since then operates as the USS Lexington Museum at Corpus Christi (Texas, USA).
