Showboats

So I don't know how to spell Sacajuwea, but hooked on phonic worked for me. I have to admit up front these are not my pictures. There is a media department onboard and one of the Navy photographers shot these. We had our own air show out at sea yesterday, as the flight deck prepared to awe the Brazilian visitors. It was exhilarating to stand outside in the sunshine and watch the performance. The planes flew over in formation with an E2 in the lead.
Then a SH-60 helicopter lowered a SAR (search and rescue) swimmer out over the water.
It was awesome having the FA-18 Hornet fly from out of no low over the ship. Look at the fire in the jet exhaust. And I'm down below treating eczema and back pain. All in a day's work.

  1. I bet those pilots are jealous that you get to see eczema. :)
