USS Nimitz Navy Aircraft Carrier Flight Retrievals

http://geeks.pirillo.com/ - Yes, I was REALLY there and captured all of these retrievals (or attempted retrievals). Thanks to Guy Kawasaki for connecting me with the Navy's Social Media enthusiasts and helping make this trip happen.

Would I love to be on this ship and see these landings in person...YES I would. Would I like to be in one of the planes...NO I would not...don't think my heart or bowels could hold up under the stress. I do admire the pilots and ship crew. You guys are very impressive. Thanks for all you do.

What an awesome experience. Thanks for taking us with you, showing us the operations onboard the Nimitz, Sir!

Is it just me or did Battles 111 bolter twice in a row?

[Oceanic706]

I am impressed.

Thanks for the video, very interesting. I see Hornets and Super Hornets. I thought carriers have only one type of F-18

@Siren1000T1 You're right. You weren't the first that noticed though... :D
