Greetings APSO Cal'ers
First, I took over 5,000 pictures and only have got down to 650 keepers, so far..Please go to my smugmug site to view the pics...
I boarded the ship in Pearl Harbor Thursday, Oct 15th and arrived in North Island in Wednesday Oct 21st. From an avaiation photography perpsective, I don't know what will top this! It was an incredible experience. With exception to being on the actual flight deck during flight ops, I had complete access to all of the boat. I was able to shoot from the pri-fly, vultures row, and the fantail.
Day One - one helo launch (this was the only flight ops we were able to view from the flight deck) and recovery.
Day Two - no flying
Day Three - air power demo practice flights and sea power demo
Day Four - air power demo
Day Five - maintenance flights
Day Six - air wing fly off
Day Seven - no flights - return home
The men and women of the USS Ronald Reagan were simply, great! Very helpful and informative.
Here's my link to view the pics. Go to the USS Ronald Reagan.

Please let me know what you think. This was my first time shooting all RAW and processing them with NX2.
