Comments: - -  Epic video . I love videos of carrier flight operations . The flight deck of a carrier during flight operations is the most dangerous place in the military other then being under direct fire . It is a tribute to the young men & women that are in most cases only a few years removed from high school .

I was on the Forrestal when we had the fire, was an A4 PC. Back on the Intrepid for a WestPac, line po with A4E planes. Lots more people on the deck with the newer planes, glad to see the Navy is up to the task. Loved working on the flight deck. God be you guys and gals working the deck.

Those are wicked perfect landings ...I'll always be impressed by the precision. Of the US Navy Troops and Teams , and thanks , you men and women are sacred , no matter what anyone says or thinks

I am very proud to have been the (AZ) AIMD IM-3 to establish the first aeronautical technical publications library on board. I was with her from the beginning, standing fire watches during her construction, manning the rail at her commissioning , shock trials , and then serving aboard for 4 years sailing the world. It was the greatest time of my life and am a better man for having served aboard her. Fair winds and following seas to the T.R and her crew. GO BIG STICK !!

For those that don't know, this is one of the loudest places you could ever work. The video is fantastic but you cannot get the feel for how painfully loud it is. Ear plugs and Mickey Mouse ears all around 8)
