Thank you for making this. I was with VAQ-131 at that time. Any more pics or videos would be great. Even out takes. At that time video recording wasn't everyday.

I was with VMFA-323 on that deployment. Man, those E/A-6B's rattled your very soul. Our avionics shop was directly under Cat 1...completely screwed with our TV when your jets went full power...lol.

Served onboard USS Midway (cv-41), USS Coral Sea (cv-43) 79-83. This is one of the best tiger cruise videos I've seen in awhile. What these tigers experienced, tigers didn't do on my ships. They usually saw flight ops and had chow

Love Your Name (Just In Case), Thank You for what your ship did for what the Ranger (CV61), could not do. Midway, OLD, HOWEVER, RELIABLE and ACCOUNTABLE. Thank You MIDWAY for relieving us on Constellation in 1980 after 3 MODLOCS (our cruise extended 4 months), THANKS RANGER. Ranger was and always was a failure. We made 3 cruises and always accountable, 77, 78-79, 80, Constellation always was always ONTIME for relief to our SHIPMATES. Kitty Hawk CV63, Enterprise CVN65 were also great. Nobody liked Ranger CV61, never relieved anyone in history on time, always something wrong with that Piece of Ship.

My last duty was with HSL84 and we had a party for the change of command, new command, didN'T know the new guy because i was basically gone in a month or two months. AT THE PARTY, WAS THE COOLEST OFFICERS ME AND OTHERs HAVE EVER MET. HIS NAME WAS SERIOUSLY COMMANDER QUICK. THIS GUY RULED. I will not repeat what happened, so if you want to know the full story, CALL ME, ANYONE, CALL ME 757.846.4352, so AWESOME. COMMANDER QUICK WAS JUST AWESOME.

THANK YOU DAVE, for the rest of you SAILORS, you will always be invited to my home: 3198 Horse Road, Hayes, VA 757.846.4352, all I do I talk about AMERICA'S FLAGSHIP. My life will never be the same after serving in AMERICA'S NAVY ON AMERICA'S FLAGSHIP. Bobby Estey, (77-81) AIMD / IM-1 / IM-2 Divisions. As stated before IM-2 was my favorite in Jet Shop. SO MANY STORIES. Constellation was the name given to the first in 1797 after the 13 stars Constellation of the US Flag, SO THERE YOU GO, LEARN YOUR HISTORY, and that's why we are AMERICA'S FLAGSHIP.
