On The Flight Deck This film takes us inside one day
in carrier aviation aboard the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The film was probably shot in 1961 or 1962. This film celebrates the unsung
heroes of the flight deck and the dangerous activity that occurs aboard an
aircraft carrier. During the filming one naval aviator looses his life.
White House field carrier landing practice sessions are shown flying the
meatball in preparation for departure. The following day the crew prepares
to leave home in a heavy rainstorm. Wives and lovers bid farewell at the
dock as sailors toss their caps to them from the carrier. The operational
equipment is tested early the following morning and a single aircraft is
catapulted into the sky. We learn all about flight deck control and the
movement of aircraft and coordination of aircraft below deck. We visit the
bridge and observe the coordination that must occur between the bridge and
the flight deck. The below decks coordination with catapult operations is
shown as well. After the flights are launched we see in-flight footage of
A-4 Skyhawks and F8U Crusaders in-flight and refueling while the deck crew
gets a few minutes of rest before the cycle begins again. The recovery
process is show with detailed explanations on how the arresting wire system
functions. Night operations are explained as the flight deck remains busy
around the clock. A nugget pilot attempts to make his first night landings
and has a difficult time and is running out of gas. You'll have to watch the
movie to find out how that story ends. He does not die. A recovery
helicopter brings the body of dead pilot aboard the ship. A ceremony is held
in his honor. Some of the aircraft seen in operation include: F8U Crusader
9161 with VF-11 F4 VF-14 A-4 Skyhawk with VA-172 A-3 Skywarrior VAH-11
AD Skyraiders Squadrons Seen: VA-12,
VF-11, VF-14, VA-172, VAH-11, VAW-12

Non-toxic Plastic Kit Cement Don't forget the cement to put together your plastic
kits! It's non-toxic and made specifically for the plastic kits available here.
#0006023
Webmasters Note: When I used the non-Toxic
plastic cement, it would work almost as good as the toxic glues in the red
label tube. However, after a couple of years, this type of cement
doesn't give a proper, lasting bond that the toxic cement used.
You're better off going to Wal Mart
and getting the bottle with the RED Label, it will make a difference in the
long run.
