Refueling a fighter

From news.navy.mil:
080103-N-2984R-464 PERSIAN GULF (Jan. 3, 2008) Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) 3rd Class Justin T. Laughlin transports a fueling hose across the flight deck during flight operations aboard the Nimitz-Class nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).”

I’ll risk sounding mellow-dramatic and say that a flightdeck may look like a glamorous place to be, but it’s dangerous and tiresome work out there. But I wouldn’t turn down a cruise on a carrier!
