Background on this video from its original post:
I filmed this in 1986, while on board the USS America, in the Mediterranean Sea. The jet jocks came up with this great plan to drop off three colored/greased up pigs, onto the flight deck of our relieving carrier, the USS John F Kennedy. We used the excuse that we had some official paper work to drop off. They never saw it coming! LOL Near the end, we ask for permission to do a “low pass up your port side,” to which, the Kennedy airboss responds, “Negative!” These were good times .LOL
And: This was in ’86. I was with HS-11 the helo squadron who did this off of the USS America. I know we dealt with multiple carriers that deployment: Coral Sea, Saratoga, JFK. We did El Dorado Canyon (op) and a few others that I can’t remember. You are right that this was the JFK and it was during the Med outchop.
