I was in San Diego for a business conference. My company, two owners ago, hosted an annual users conference, alternating east and west coast locales. The most recent prior owner did away with them.
It seems even on big ships space is at a premium.
Needed to store all the aircraft I suppose.
As a kid I was fascinated by airplanes. And was very cool to see them in person.
Not all that much runway. Now imagine that the sea isn't quite as calm and there are other planes in the air. Some maybe even shooting at you.
Magnificent ingenuity, a testament to the cleverness of us humans. But also a monument to our stupidity and inability to live together peacefully. I feel that way about military aircraft these days. Incredible what can be achieved. Sad what we spend so much resources on.
