JJ-BH-15(9) - 2 Deck crew with Chocs

Fighter Squadron 84 or VF-84 was an aviation unit of the United States Navy. Originally established on 1 May 1944, it was disestablished on 8 October 1945. It was the first US Navy squadron to be designated as VF-84. Yellow shirts are worn by plane handlers and plane directors that shuttle aircraft around the carrier’s tight and chaotic deck. Brown shirts are worn most notably by Plane Captains. Plane Captains are responsible for overseeing the maintenance, launch and recovery and general well-being of their aircraft as well as the others in their squadron. The old adage is the plane captain is the one who truly “owns the jet,” and the pilot just borrows it for a couple hours at a time.
