Couldn’t resist linking to this gallery, some sweet photos of the Blue Angels including a water-stirring high-speed pass by #5.

Monday, February 4th, 2008I’m not a big gamer, I wouldn’t even say I’m a gamer at all. But for Christmas I scooped up a couple licenses for this flying game “Skyfighters 1945” so I could play networked 2 player with my kids. As much as I love the Mac I have to agree with the Windows folks who say gaming stuff isn’t there on the Mac, it took me some time to find and confidently deduce that this Logitech joystick would work on a Mac and do what I wanted. And so far it’s been great (times 2.) I’m also fiddling with this simulation game since I can’t justify $60 for X-Plane. So far I like the Blue Angels A-4 aircraft the best.

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!
