Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Visit on board Theodore Roosevelt CVN71 1995

Post by Jan »

In 1995 I was sent to the Med with my ship to enforce the embargo on the former republic of Yugoslavia. For the hard needed airsupport the Americans also deployed the Theodore Roosevelt for the groundtroops.
When the carrier was at anchor in the bay of Corfu I got the oppertunity to visit the ship.
Here are a few examples of what I saw that day.
