Fire and Snow. Footage of the USS Philippine Sea (CV-47) caught in a snowstorm off the Korean coast on 15 Nov '50. Clip also shows deck on fire but I'm not sure if that was related to a Panther crash landing recorded in captains logs on the 14th.🫡

Some badass shots of Tomcats launching off the deck of the USS Nimitz on May 2, 1980. What a time to be alive.🤘😎

Some cool shots of of the first carrier launches and recoveries aboard the USS Langley back in 1922, just 103 years ago. Much respect, these dudes were certified nuts.🤘😎

Day 202 of 2025 and the Warthog is still in service. DoD releasing some badass shots of A-10s refueling during sandstorm over undisclosed location along with a night time shot of the hawg drinking. 🤘😎

Some cool upscaled close up shots of Avenger's flying over Iwo Jima in February of 1945. Not sure what the mangled shot is, though. The angles don't look right, almost like it's an aircraft on the deck, but it was in between these other in flight shots.😎

Don't see many Northrop P-61 Black Widows in the archives. Here's a few taking off, I believe, in Munich around March of '45. Does the first aircraft have WWII painted on it? Now that's metal. Glad ya'll love this stuff as much as I do.🤘😎

Here is some rare footage with narration out of the archives of the Bell YFM-1 Airacuda. The Airacuda was a heavy fighter built in the 30's with a sleek futuristic look that had high expectations but was plagued with problems, only 12 were ever built. Airacuda! 🤘😎

Some badass gun battles I ran across deep in the archives of B-24 Gunners and ships fighting off Japanese air attacks. This might be too metal for some of ya'll. You've been warned.🤘😎

Some badass P-38 action from WWII with a few different clips that includes P-38 gun camera action towards end. The only squadron identified in footage was the 339th Fighter Squadron. Probably my favorite fighter of the war.🤘😎

Some rainy day footage from December '69 of aircrew on the USS Constellation launching recon and air strikes over South Vietnam and Laos just a month after their return to Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin. Deck life must suck on a cold wind rainy day.🤘😎

A badass look at an E/A-18G Growler from the "Cougars" Electronic Attack Squadron 139 (VAQ-139) launching from the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) just a couple of weeks ago. Love the paint. 🤘😎

Here's a rare look at a Romanian Bf109G-6 with US markings at San Giovanni airfield in Italy towards the end of the war. The aircraft was piloted, at one point, by Constantin "Bâzu" Cantacuzino, a WW2 ace, where he fought against the Allies until Romania left the Axis in 1944.👀

Fun Fact: The Spirit of St. Louis, the aircraft that Charles Lindbergh flew on the first solo, flight across the Atlantic, had no front facing windows and required the use of a Periscope. I had to check the archives for myself. That is all. Carry on.🫡

Great footage off the deck of the USS Kitty Hawk in January of 1971. During this time she was deployed to the WestPac while aircrew flew interdiction strikes against enemy lines of communication in Laos and South Vietnam.🤘😎
