F18 about to leave the Flight Deck of USS Enterprise…. Going…………..
US Navy F-18 Aircraft taking off from aircraft carrier USS Enterprise during an Air Show for us “Tigers”. We were lucky to sail a Tiger Cruise with the USS Enterprise to Norfolk VA when it returned from deployment with our son LT. G. Clarke.
During the air show I got separated from my son and convinced a sailor and his dad to grab the back of my jacket as I leaned off the side of the ship to capture theses photos during the launch. It worked until my son found me, almost had a heart attack, and immediately stopped the madness. Committed to the shot! Fun times!
