Aviation - In the Cockpit: Flat Tops

Experience the awesome world of a U.S. Navy carrier battlegroup as an F-14 Tomcat catapults over the bow, accelerating from 0 to 170 mph in just 3 seconds. Sail aboard modern Flat Tops, seeing their full operations from flight planning to heart-stopping flight launch. Watch Harrier jets target, attack, and dogfight with their adversaries. Experience the bone-jarring finale of hitting the deck, praying that the arrester wires will catch. Live through combat as you and crews of the U.S. carriers roam the Vietnam coast and fly strikes against North Vietnamese targets.
