Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

CVN-68 NIMITZ - Somewhere in the Indian Oceana - Nov 09

Post by MasterJet »

In November I was lucky to arrange my second embark for this year...this time the Carrier was the Nimitz with all the Carrier Air Wing 11 at play in the 5th Fleet area.

Thanks to our US Navy escorts on the Nimitz...the visit was excellent!!!

Here are some pictures from a total of 15 giga :D ...hope you enjoy this short preview!

Second shot is excellent, as is the approaching helo and '203' in take off!
Very nice visit, with a awesome result!

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.
