• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

1970-71 carrier ops onboard the Kitty Hawk

A former shipmate of mine just posted the link to this video, filmed on the Kitty Hawk during its 70-71 deployment. It was back when the flight deck was filled with many types of aircraft, and all with Hi-Viz paints. The video is often shaky (before the digital age), and you can hear the ship's radar bleed through the audio. But you really get a sense for what it was like on that deck. Note: on one closeup of a Corsair II, you can clearly see the outline of a panel, showing how dirty those aircraft can get. Enjoy. NC
