Naval Aviation - Pucker Factor 10+

Post by Jack Hart » Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:55 am

My last tour in the USN was aboard the USS Nimitz where these videos were shot. We had a day like this and I was one of the last aboard. I'll never forget it.

Hmmm, not allowed to watch this in the UK, something about PBS content?

PBS = Public Broadcasting Service. I can't imagine why it would be blocked in the UK. Maybe if your ISP is in Iran? These videos were all shown on broadcast TV in the US.

Maybe it has something to do with this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7933565.stm

OK, this may work: http://www.pbs.org/weta/carrier/full_episodes.htm

Check out Episode 7 chapters 4 and 5. It's pretty much the same as the youtube clips.

I'm sorry, no one can open these. It's a great series shot on the USS Nimitz, with lots of excellent aviation footage in extreme conditions.

I really don't understand what the copyright deal is....crazy.

All episodes are available in full HD on the 'net globally - if you know where to look.

Not that I'd know of course ;)
