Summary

Description
English: The Burbank Boomerang is one of five AP-2Es, also designated RP-2Es of the !st Aviation Company, Crazy Cats, operating on the Naval Air Facility at Cam Rahn Bay, S. Vietnam. These five aircraft flew SIGINT/ELINT missions in vietnam tasked as Ceflien Lion which was part of Project Igloo White. The mission was so dangerous the flight crew was made up entirely of volunteers. When the mission was explained a military commander he commented, "What a bunch of crazy cats." The moniker stuck and the squadron was hence known as the Crazy Cats. The plane is currently on display at the Ft. Rucker, Alabama Army Air Museum. The museum reports it has been recently repainted.
