Hi.
My first post and just wanted to say hi first of all to everyone.
I am a UK civilian so forgive me ignorance on the subject, But i am wondering exactly where planes can go on the flight deck. What i mean is there are certain planes that favour particular area's like the Hummer Hole etc.
The reason i am asking is i am having a model built of Abe Lincoln 2000-2001 and the accompanying Airwing. So once complete i want to make sure i have the planes in the correct area's of the flight deck.
Thanx and appreciated.
Yes and no. Depends on what's going on at a particular time (ie launch or recovery or respot or pulling into port or even for a staged photo op, etc.). Take a look at images and pick one that suits your fancy.
