An Aircraft Carrier Flight Deck Looks Like A Ballet. Navy Men Working As A Team. Beautiful to Watch

This is one of my favorite clips. a scene from my PBS TV special, Second Home, on board with the Navy men on the John F. Kennedy Aircraft Carrier, following them as they go to sea. The extraordinary beautifully performed actions on the flight deck at sea make a potentially exceedingly dangerous situation into one that I felt safe filming (constantly watched over by them. Although the noise was deafening, my team and I filmed this amazing footage including sync sound because they made it possible. At one point I was kicked by a man on the flight deck and fell forward. When I got up I saw the the chain was about to hit me and he his swift action saved my life. I thanked him with a thumbs up -- and we both went on with our jobs. #flightdeck #topgun #navy #aircraftcarrier #fighterpilot
