A Great Time in 1996

In May, I had the chance to fly out to spend a day and night on the carrier, USS Kitty Hawk as the guest of its Captain, Terry Magee.  Although my legs ached from climbing up an down stairways, it was an experience I will never forget.  Here are some pictures.

Me and my flying friends !

Five more pounds and I wouldn't fit!

O to 110 mph in 1.5 seconds!

The whole group invited on board the ship!
