The late Charlie Fritts graduated from Miami High School in 1954. After college, he joined the US Navy and served as an aviator.
This photo was taken on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise CVN-65 and features the officers of Attack Squadron 65 (VA-65) “The Fighting Tigers.”
Charlie is in the front row on the far left. You might recognize the aviator sitting directly to his right: John McCain. McCain was held as a POW for 5 ½ years at Vietnam’s "Hanoi Hilton" and was later elected US Senator of Arizona.
