USS BUSH CVN-77 in the Persian Gulf
USS BUSH CVN-77 in the Persian Gulf
At the end of October I was lucky to embark the USS BUSH during its first operational cruise in the arabian sea. At the time of my visit the carrier was in support of Op. New Dawn in Iraq.
Hope you like...more pics to come

A great set Giovanni, you must have shot CVW-8 a few times now, Fifth Fleet seems to be that air wing's second home!
Do you want the Aladeen news or the Aladeen news?

I'd have to give up something else, I still have need of both of mine I'm pleased to say!
Is 214 taking off without afterburner?

That Tomcatter's Hornet is the dog's danglies! (Not a Tomcat admitedly but there you go!)
Probably wouldn't sacrifice both of my own danglies for the chance to do that, but one might be up for negotiation!

Does VFA-213 now have the MUTHA Award, or are the tags not removed from 214 yet?
