USS Nimitz -- View from "Pri Fly" tower

Inside the Primary Flight Control of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, March 2005, before catapult lift and tailhook landing maneuvers. Here, the "Air Boss" controls the takeoffs, landings, those aircraft in the air near the ship, and the movement of planes on the flight deck, which itself resembles a well-choreographed ballet. You will also see the Mini Boss (#2 in command) in the video. The footage was shot by Nancy Keene, a Dallas executive search consultant and writer of blog The Perfect Fit - www.keeneperfectfit.com - during an Overnight DV (Distinguished Visitor) Embark aboard the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier while on maneuvers in the Pacific, about 200 miles off the coast of San Diego.
