Navy buffs, ever seen this thing on a carrier?

[deltapapha]

Any of you guys ever seen this sort of observing port built into a carrier deck?

 

[syct23]

Yes...

 

[Chesten_Hesten]

Never.

 

[ralphc1]

Yes I have.

 

[D Train]

Seems reasonable.

that's pretty cool

Is that an F-22 on the deck? I figured with the 45° wings on the back it'd be a Hornet being it's a Navy Carrier, but it looks like a Raptor.

F-35

Incidentally, here is some news that main headlined earlier today

Nice. It's pretty cool how they made like four different versions of the plane for all branches on the military

I am a Navy veteran yet my understanding was counterpart USAF jets and aircraft did not have the folding wings. I could be wrong though.

Even regular airports have glow sticks bro.

Where I'm at the F-35 flies overhead constantly. I love when the idiots driving in front of me stop their cars as the F-35 flies over my truck in slow moving VTOL flight. Nothing like having 60,000 lbs of aircraft overhead as the vertical thrust beat the hell out of the roof of your vehicle. Fun.

I lived in Mira Mesa as a kid, saw the Blue Angels fly overhead daily (back when Top Gun and them were outta Miramar before it switched to USMC)
