Will pop in to ship and borrow some of the ones we got up in the gulf, sitting alongside Abraham Lincoln doing flying ops was awesome! Some of the guys got to go cross decks and sit between the catapults and watch the launches nice and close.

Hey great images and the Blue Angels video was awesome. I guess they are like us Bikers....manoeuverable, get off on the speed, sail pretty close to the wind risk wise etc. That led to a bunch of high speed passes on YouTube. Cheers again.
