Looks like the island is pitching independent of the deck, doesn't it?

Yup. The carrier behind it in the picture makes it look like it's coming apart. I did a double take.

And yet you aid and abet rotary wing flight, an unnatural act, punishable by God! Pi in the sky!

They are so ugly, the earth repels them. And that is why I love them.
But I support Fixed Wing again now.

BW=Buffalo Wings
None better than the (former) Airways Hotel in the parking lot at BUF. Best wings in the world, Irish domestic Guinness on tap, and 200-300 flight attendants every night. All the jets that couldn't fit on crowded ramps in NY, PHL, BWI and DCA used to overnight in BUF.

I see what you did there. A double. My personal rule on "funny" awards are the standard "funny" for smiles, grins and chuckles. Laughing out loud, coffee spittin on the computer always gets Bacon.

The shadows are making it look that way. The ship went through the storm just fine.

I've always wondered about the Pickelhelm combat drill.

USS Bismarck Sea (CVE-95) flight deck photo taken on December 19th 1944. An FM-2 Wildcat aircraft (N-27), coming in for a landing, either missed or broke an arresting hook and crashed into planes parked on the bow. Here N-27 has crashed into N-33 pushing it over the bow. N-27 also went over the bow. Ensign Woods, pilot of N-33, is seen lying on the deck amid flying wreckage of planes.
