The old Vought guys did an amazing job. Stunning pics, Flug!

There's an F-8 in NAS Oceana outdoor petting zoo in dire need of same TLC. The wings are rotting where flaps attach at wingfold point.

Granted big decks seem to get most of the action....

Misread that at first.

To be fair, they do come to VP deployment sites too. But we prefer to go out drinking with them after their show rather than getting autographs. Technique only.

The “hose nose” looks really great. But I liked the picture of the F-8! (sigh) Be still my heart.

How come I've never seen any of these cheerleaders on any boats I have been on?

We never had any cheerleaders on my 3 cruises either.

Must be bad timing for you because they're out there every year touring East and West:

Maybe you were on the wrong ship??

USS Harry S Truman hosts Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders

USS George Washington and Redskinettes

USS Theodore Roosevelt hosts gals from Jacksonville

If you were really lucky, you got Wayne Newton and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders

edit- hell with it im going to go get a better pic
edit-- If i had a better camera this picture could be dramatic, or if I could get on the ramp... there is a mobile light tower that they towed out on the ramp and are illuminating one side of the airplane.

Various pictures from the last year. One of my favorite things that I got to do was shadow the Arresting Gear Officer for my LSO PQS. Very interesting place to watch the recovery. The worst thing about this picture is that the brown-and-yellow striped bomb is still on the airplane.

Best we got was on the Shotgun cruiser, Jessica Simpson was doing something on the hangar deck of the CV. The OIC had one of the 60Bs spotted on the flight deck, we put on external power and hooked up the data link hardwire, and it was my job to sit in the ATO seat and keep the FLIR aimed at her ass. Surprisingly, the FLIR target tracker was able to keep a good lock on it. We got to watch in the helo and CIC.

Not sure if they were able to feed the video to Site-TV or not.

Pictures of the Blue Angels' show in San Fransisco, including the one that Jim Brown used to prove they flew lower than 50ft. These are not my pictures.

Not aviation related, but by far one of the coolest pics I have ever seen. It was taken at Pic du Midi de Bigorre in the Pyrenees. Here's a link to the original: http://flickr.com/photos/vdesnoux/2688820849/

Turkeys are the most noble winged creature of them all, without a doubt. Should have been our National Bird, too. Ben Franklin had it right.

Haha 1776 - great movie.
