Aboard the USS Nimitz - Part 2 of 3

A video montage of my overnight embark on the USS Nimitz. This is the 2nd part of my 3 part series showcasing the fun we had. In this video, we cruise the hangar, check out flight operations, watch insane night landings, and take a special "after hours" tour with MC1 David Mercil and explore the anchor room and other cool stuff. Truly an experience I'll never forget.

The night landings are very impressive! It would be interesting, as far as possible, to have a video shot inside the cockpit, maybe fixed on the helmet, showing the instrument panel together with the flight- deck approaching. Still shot for a night landing and including original sound in the cockpit.

The anchor-room is also very interesting to discover.
