WMG snapped my soundtrack away.... so here is a new upload of the same video
Showing mounting "turtle" of the catapult system of the Oriskany on a F-8 Crusader,launches of F-8 Crusaders and the A-7D Corsair II. You can see landing of A-7D Corsair after a mission with live ammunition (500 lbs bomb) still attached. S-2 Tracker lands and folds up the wings.

This video has been used with the authorization of http://glewis.us/Oriskany.htm where you can find this and other videos with the original effects and in the original format (uncut). This unique footage was made by Jerry Schulte during his tour on the Big 'O'.
