Pics of the US Navy Ship in Freo
I went flying yesterday and took some pics of the US Navy Ship. It is quite a site.
I wish the photos were a bit better but its hard taking photos and flying a plane at the same time. Last edited by DAN682; 09-10-2005 at 05:01 PM. |

I can remember seeing a similiar sight last year (day of DamBusters cruise anyways..) off Cottesloe! Truely awesome bits of machinery! You dont actually realise how big they are until you see one up close.
Also managed to visit a US Aircraft Carrier off freo when i was about 10 or so! Cant remember a lot, but the planes were GREAT! |

whats the deal with airspace around the carrier? I would imagine it would be a tad risky getting too close? Could they suspect you of something or do they get in contact with you over the radio??

Pete, they just get the bald guy to say, "When they break 150 miles, launch the Alert 5 aircraft."

then you say: Tower this is Ghostrider requesting a fly-by
then they say: Negative Ghostrider the pattern is full

Or yes, the bald dude dispatches the alert 5 aircraft (after perth radar tells you to get out of the area of course) |
