Hard to tell from this angle, but it looks like a Plymouth Valiant.

BTW, it's not uncommon for a carrier to, when they're making a cruise or transfer with dependents aboard, to have the crew chip in and buy a couple of junkers, in order to show the kids what it's like to get shot off a cat. It's more entertaining than the catapult-test leadsleds they use for certification.

Damn why did they waste taxpayers money shooting that catapult off with something without wings. I thought the government was smarter than that. :D

Ok, kids. Got your seatbelts on? Good. Make sure your head's against the headrest, now. You're in for a fun ride! ;)
