LCDR John M. McCall was killed in Feb. 1964 when he was putting on a show for a group of VIPs abroad the Saratoga off Mayport Fl. He was flying the shape of a hart with an arrow going through it using those photo flash canisters behind the cockpit, when the plane suddenly went straight into a dive. He punched out about 200 feet above the water, which is too low. His body was not recovered. Also see "faces of VFP-62" and below, a photo of his 200th arrested landing aboard the Saratoga.
