Okay, a few more from the Bonhomme Richard. During a recent underway we had Harrier jets onboard, attempting to complete deck landing qualifications. If you're not familiar with Harriers, they are some of the coolest jets you'll ever see - they have the ability to take off and land vertically, like a helicopter. It's very very bizarre to watch in real life, because it breaks every law of aerodynamics you've ever become accustomed to. (To save fuel, they usually take off conventionally). I was lucky enough to get down on the flight deck and take some pics and vids for you. Here are some of them:
As for the videos, they're not exactly high quality - it's all I could get with an iPhone. Pay attention to the first one - the sound and jetwash was so loud it killed the microphone (temporarily) on my phone. But it was totally worth it.

They're pretty much done, all I have to do is write it out. I promise it will be done VERY soon.
Thanks for reading.
