Harry S. Truman Flight Deck


Following Yummifruitbat’s advice I went searching for a better photo of launch preperations on an aircraft carrier. This particular photo was one of maybe thirty or so that I found that stand the best chance of passing through the FPC process (by which I mean there are no people obstructing the objects, no wierd angles, no bizzare effects from light reflections, etc). This particular photo shows the flight deck of the supercarrier Harry S. Truman, with three F/A-18 Hornets preparing to launch from the deck with the aid of an aircraft catapult. This image originates from the commons, and is an official US Navy photo.

 * Oppose Small, blurry, and unclear.  There are better pictures of this exciting event.  --Midnight Rider 04:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose A good pic but not FPC. I think the pic needed to have been taken from higher up, the aircraft are not seen clearly - Adrian Pingstone 08:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Interesting, but badly cropped (either in camera or elsewhere) on the left, and far too many artefacts at full size. Staxringold talkcontribs 15:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Per Adrian Pingstone and Staxringold. Like Midnight Rider said, there are definitely better pictures of this out there. Nautica Shades (talk) 17:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
