Gee Otto, could that be the Enterprise (CV-6), you're taking off from or another Yorktown Class Carrier.

It looks more like the Saratoga. Note the end of an R and an A just forward of the Hellcat's port wing root.. She always had SARA painted on her after flightdeck to identify her. The Lexington had LEX. Other carriers I believe just had their registry number fore and aft.

And if that's taking off then the next shot is stalling before falling back and dying on the flight deck.

I should know.

Lovely shot, as always, Otto. :up:

Thanks gents
As Hawk said, it is the Saratoga

Saratoga (CV-3), a very good ship indeed. Awards 7 Battle Stars during WW2 and survived (barely), kamakazi hits.

Now resting at Bikini Atoll. Shame, as of 2008, diving down to it is no longer available to scuba divers.

"Excuse me, kind Sir but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon mustard?"

Thank you sir.
:haha:

"Good, I don't think they see me."

I think your coordinates were just a tad bit off on the runway.:rotfl2:

Nah, looked like every one of my 'spot on' landings - although it is missing the flames.

Got a yoke today, will try it tonight.

Edit: I've just double checked the original and there are steps and ladders going up to the door of the lighthouse.
