Back in the old days!
« on: November 24, 2017, 11:33:01 AM »
Just ran across a photo of one of my old ships. U.S.S. Intrepid CV11. The occasion was a visit to NYC. Intrepid is now a floating museum in the city.
This photo was taken as we pulled into NYC with the crew AND news reporters that had come aboard to record the visit. They are spelling out "HI NYC" on the flight deck for the aerial photo. Reporters spell the "H".  I'm sort of fond of this shot as I was flying the photo plane that took it.

That is too cool.  Leave it to the reporters to get the "H" crooked! :-)  That's a keeper, Spud.

Nothin' like a bit of nostalgia, Spud!  Looks like the plane was nice and steady for the shot.

Good job!

Great looking ship Spud: A nice home for your A-1 Skyraider! (And nice job flying!!).
Any chance we could adapt that CV-11 into a Carrier for FSX/P3D? lol
