They were in continuous operations as Dets. on fleet carriers from 1957-1982 and continued on in the Reserves through 1984. In 1962 the RF-8 became famous during Operation Blue Moon when VMJ-2 and VFP-62 Crusaders documented the Cuban Missile Crisis by taking over 160,000 photos while logging over a 100 flight hours.
