Going for the Hard Deck
With the recent release of Top Gun: Maverick I wanted to go back and review some of the images I took while assigned to USS KITTY HAWK (CV 63) in the late-2000s. One of the highlights of our deployments was the returning home air show that the air wing would perform for the crew out in the middle of the ocean.
I've seen the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds perform many times, and while their aircraft may look really nice with the performance team paint jobs, seeing your coworkers and friends pull out all the stops to put their aircraft through their paces and demonstrate what they and their craft are capable of is pretty impressive.
