CUBA-1962: A vintage 8mm film clip captures a U.S. Navy jet preparing for takeoff on an aircraft carrier deck. Crew members in uniform give hand signals as the jet, marked with a star insignia and number 7, accelerates down the runway. The footage shows the aircraft lifting off into the sky, with the carrier deck and equipment visible in the foreground. Shot on 8mm film, this archival home movie offers a rare glimpse of Cold War-era naval aviation operations, with authentic film grain and color tones from the early 1960s.
