River Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 A friend of mine was able to conduct an 'authorised' over-fly of the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft-carrier as the ship sailed into Moreton Bay on its final visit to Brisbane last week... Photo taken from a fellow nearby aviator. Image is a little poor in quality due to both the viewing through the windscreen and the deduction in quality to allow for uploading but I reckon we all get the feeling eh! Lucky bugger... ;) Cheers 'Team'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Answer... That a/c overflying looks like a fake to me. How does one get "authorization" to overfly a no fly zone in an ultralight? Aircraft not an ultralight, a 'VH' experimental and pilot with full GA licence... Further, earlier when the last carrier, the USS Enterprise visited Brisbane he was also able to conduct a 'fly-by' after obtaining permission from the carrier as to how close he may fly to them... ;) cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Date Stamp... Interesting date stamp on that photo. Hmmm, :confused: that one I don't know but I'll ask. The info usually supplied to me from this person as usually 100% bona-fired but that does beg the question??? I'll find out... ;) :;)3: Cheers 'Team', Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disperse Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 could it possibly be that the date in the camera was'nt set ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Re the photo... and the date/stamp. Checked with owner and yes the date/stamp was incorrectly set. It's the "Real McCoy". The local clubs newsletter will have a pilot story of his flight, etc in its next edition. Cheers 'Team' Rodger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
