Flying aboard backwards...

Pic from a COD trip out to the Nimitz on Aug 5, 2005.

Was a very hot humid day and the AC in this COD was working very well...note the white smoke all over the deck. Made more than a few PAX nervous. Aircrewman had to explain it was due to the cool air from the AC not a fire...

Oh yeah...Aussies have the more round pattern.

So what you're saying it was a typical COD flight. Some things work, some things don't. What squadron, 30 or 40?

Here are some pics of the crew...VRC-30 from the patch on the shoulder.

Trip was a boondoggle for the F2C2 (Friendly Forces Coordination Center), basically our coalition LNOs fly out for a dog and pony for a day.

Sweet pics -- how could you tell they were Brits from the first pic though?

YOu can see the camo pattern of their BDU's. Their shoulders and arms are visible. Take a closer look to either side of the aisle.

It's 30. The pilot, Kendra, is one of ours.

So why is the left seater wearing David Clark's and the right seater a hard hat?

You sure it wasn't a set up to get Jessica Simpson to run out of the fog, down the ramp, and onto the boat?

 

[AllAmerican75]

I'm sure many men were hoping it was, especially seeing as how she's now all single and all.
