There could be light scratches, edge nick issues, and the wood has the same issues and some light discoloration. The wood on this plaque is 1 thick and in good shape. Overall, really nice collectible from a great aircraft carrier.

VA-22 USS CORAL SEA US Navy A-7C&E pilot skull cap VA22 Squadron Fighting Redcocks. I took the 2nd and 3rd pictures on the 1974-75 Coral Sea CVA-43 cruise. The 2nd picture is one of my favorites. The 3rd picture is a VA94 VA-94 A7 that got away from the plane handlers while they were moving it. It rolled over the side and got caught in the nets much to the relief of the plane captain (I assume) who was sitting in it. They brought in the crane and when they hosted it back up to the flight deck, one of the main gear tires blew. Sounded like a bomb going off. That was pretty exciting too (for a second or two).
