Default Slow Day on the aircraft carrier deck

FASTER THAN ANY OL' GTO!

Probably the world's fastest ford Falcon for a brief moment of glory.

Apparently testing the catapault - one ford falcon sent to a watery grave!!!

I saw a show on TLC about the newest Carrier in the US fleet. They have these ~20 ton sleds that they shoot off to calibrate the 'pults. Pretty cool to see them go flying off the deck!

That would kick ass to be strapped to the seat of that car as it gets blasted off the deck ... just make sure you can get out FAST!
