Very nice video I was on the Kitty Hawk from 90 93 during the rebuilding of in Philadelphia then was there during the first Desert Storm. Never thought of doing something like this. So nice job.
I served on the Kitty Hawk during the Vietnam war. This is a good representation of the power and majesty of flight deck ops, but the music really sucks. Can't we do something about that?
@afip4n6doc Haha... bring me 50' of flight line, and a can of prop wash and jet blast... and since you're the airman apprentice you have the 2 AM mail buoy watch!
(aviation fire control 3rd class, USS Coral Sea, VF-21 '79-'83 w/add'l PQS as plane captain on F-4's and GSE pool at miramar)
Had more fun in line division wrenching planes than I did with the techs scratching our heads until we called the Hughes reps!
Excellent editing. Very professional.
I was a medical department Corpsman 1980-82 (later a ship's doctor 1992-94 Lasalle, Lincoln). We no longer had A3 Whale or A4, but we had A7 Corsair and F8 (vfp63). I was on Kitty Hawk in the transitional period from Vietnam War to the current period. (We rescued many Vietnamese boat people after the war).
Cheers! (I never found the bowling alley) Still looking for 150' of shore line...
