So I embarked on a Navy ship Monday for an underway period for the first time since I retired from active duty nearly three years ago.
Flight operations on a U.S. Carrier is still a fascinating thing to watch. The average age of the guys and gals working the "roof" is 20.
When it's working right it's like a ballet, one end of the stage is "trapping" (like pictured here)incoming planes, and the other is preparing for launches.
