A different kind of airshow...

[Isak922]

A Show of Force demonstration aboard a Carrier... showing the Friends and Family of the U.S. Navy what their top of the line fighter is capable of  8-)

Shot is taken during a (Very) high speed pass... the crew was kind enough to pose  ;)

LOL.... funnaiii...

Interesting shot, even more interesting crew...

Great shot! Gd Luck in the comp!

interesting lol. first shot there is... i wish it the best for getting that award

i was expecting much more of a farnborough type thing, but each take on the 'airshow' comes up with great and unique things


best of luck

Yeah that is a great idea, fighter pilots are all Hollywood anyway, good luck [smiley=thumbsup.gif] The only negative I can see is nobody is looking at the jets?

That's probably because they're trained not to do that. Working on the carrier deck is serious business. Take your eyes off your job and someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed.

This is an interesting shot that is well conceived

Is it just me, or is the guy in green singing "I'm a little teapot....."  ;D

Yeah they look pretty serious

Well as long as we're getting technical here...the jets are banking toward the boat which almost never happens/ is permitted. If they were in the break, they'd be on the starboard side with a left wing down attitude but much further past the bow. And I watched all the time during recovery...too cool to miss! Cool idea!  ;)

Thanks for the comments everyone! Quite appreciated!  :)

Didn't know shuffleboard was allowed on carrier flight decks... must be very relaxing.

That's a great idea- major points for originality.

one question though... the carrier is freeware right, because i had some of the abacus stuff and that deck crew looks mighty familiar.  Nice shot btw.
