NORTH ARABIAN SEA - 05-07/03/2007

Aviation-Shots had the unique chance to embark for three days onboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) in the Persian Gulf on March. We could capture images of the flight operations during day and night as well from almost every possible perspective and we could see the big efforts and professional skills af all the people embarked there...making everything work well and safe on the deck (and  "under the deck" too!) is for sure a big team work!! We would like to thank the US NAVY for giving us this big professional opportunity, all the US NAVY PAOs involved in our embark, the 5th  Fleet, the PAO onboard the IKE and all people  that escorted us around the carrier and, last but not least, all the squadrons embarked. Enjoy the pictures!!!!!!!
