Aircraft Carrier Film READY ON ARRIVAL

[@airailimages]

While we're visiting the 1960s, take a look at the Rail side of the Airailimages Channel with this vintage film of the Hillcrest Lumber Co. steam locomotive in service on Vancouver island in 1968: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rHfnqvZ5yBm80

Priceless insights into history. Note the careful choice of words. And what was considered high tech, then. Thank you.

[@airailimages]

I had a high school classmate on the Independence in '65 and '66. We enlisted together and went to A school (ATN) together but he flunked out and was sent there as a "plane pusher". I actually ended up on a destroyer and wouldn't take anything for that experience.

at 10:00 , the narrator finished aircraft description, without mentioning the Vigilante, which lands aboard at 10:15. Just loved that airplane.

Whoa------At 6:25-6:30ish, is that Cmdr Vogt and Lt. Barber with VA 75 the Sunday Punchers? If so, Rest in Peace--a grateful nation thanks you. Lest we forget...........

Thank goodness Congress funded the super carrier fleet AND strategic bomber force when it looked like it would be one or the other back in the early days of the Cold War.

[@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe]

What Super Carrier Fleet? Decade later. Cannot give congress😅 that much credit. James Forrestal had something to do with this as well. Congress support?

But did they have a vegan menu in the chow hall?
