When we went to the Persian Gulf, the first time, I was on the USS America. We carried over a few OV10 Broncos for the Marine Corps while another of the carriers carried several of the new F117 Nighthawks.

Wish I could have actually been on the flight deck to see it instead of just watching on on the ships CCTV system, but either way it was just plain cool to see.
