@POPEYE, very nice pics you post as always. I have a question, are there (new) pics from the USS Ford?

@POPEYE, very nice pics you post as always. I have a question, are there (new) pics from the USS Ford?

You mean USS Gerald R Ford of course. There are some in this thread. Just use the search. And Yes there are plenty at ;

and....

No time to post now..I have other obligations.

Thanks @POPEYE, actually I thought maybe you have photos from testing and landings their aircrafts. It would be the most advanced naval ship from the US and costs 11 billion…..

The USN has many photos of CVN-78..you just have to search those links....here are they type of photos you seek as you can see Flight OPS have not changed much in the last 45 years. They look the same to me as they did back in '73 aboard Midway. Just different aircraft;

Flight operations aboard USS Gerald R Ford (CVN 78) in January 2018...











From NOV 2017;







Presently USS Gerald R Ford is in the builders shipyard in Newport News VA. Undergoing a post shakedown re-fit. There are major issues aboard with the weapons elevators.. And the ships sketchy catapults and arresting gear.

That stated in her short life GRF has had about 750 arrested landings and catapults launches.

Read about GRF here;

Aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford enters next development phase at shipyard

Flight OPS aboard USS Midway circa 1973-74. These photos are from the 1974 USS Midway cruise book. Someone in Germany has slapped his water mark all across these OFFICIAL USN photos. He's null and void as far as I'm concerned. AAL USN photos are for public use as long as they are not classified.
