Go NAVY Aviators!
WASHINGTON Strike aircraft from Carrier Air Wing 7 carried out combat strikes against ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria Friday, flying in from the eastern Mediterranean rather than the Persian Gulf or Arabian Sea.

We all have our ideas of which service is better than the others, but is there anything as badass as a carrier battlegroup?

My friend's son is weapons officer on a boomer boat. He told me that boomer boats are the most badass. I said "maybe so, but if you go to war, we are all F----d!"

Wonder what the ROEs are? Kind of risky landing on a bird farm loaded out for bombing sorties.

SGT (Join to see) - My bro-in-law was career Navy and told me that from a pilots' perspective, on approach to a carrier, wheels down and throttling back that the carrier deck appeared to be about the size of a postage stamp. WoW....

WOW Rick, I didn't know it looks led that small to them. There are so many hero pilots and aviators, rotary and fixed wing. Those guy's are phenomenal. Thanks for sharing, Rick.
