The intro screen reads, "USS Carl Vincent" instead of "Vinson".

Wow. I helped Carl Scholl of Aero Traders get this thing into ferry condition in Ramona, CA back in 1978. Really love to see it doing it's thing, here.

Thank you for posting this. I was stationed on the Vinson from 1992-96. I was on the flight deck when this was shot.

I was stationed aboard the good ol Chucky V during this time. Shop II, 69B/C, from 93-96.

I was on the forward flight deck (Spot One) along with hundreds of others and watched the parade of vintage birds fly off the angle deck with no CAT.

Those of you from AIMD/IM3 would have known me if you worked nightcheck.

I was there that day as well. I was happy to see that the navy let the nose art slide for one of the bombers lol. Nice...

I have the whole launch of all the WWII aircraft on video.  In your video I am the driver of the P-16 (fire truck for non Navy personnel) that you see at the end of the crowd. That was where I was sitting when I shot the video. Very nice video, Salute!

I was on the Vinson for this. Very cool, We also had Pearl Harbor survivors on the ship for this event. One told me a story of how the ship was sinking so he ran to the galley and made a sandwhich before jumping ship, then he had a nice snack while watching the ship sink.

This was really cool video. CVN 70 is berthed right next to where I work, it's being overhauled. I had no idea that an old Mitchell had ever been launched from her :)
