Nice video. However, I would have preferred something with civilian aviation.

Thanks for sharing. As a guy who spent months and months on an aircraft carrier I never get bored seeing that sort of stuff...bonus for the Breitling stuff.

Great spotting that one Fred. Tension and drama as the backdrop for one of Breitling’s best designed watches (IMHO). Makes me want to go out and buy one. :wink:

I never get tired of this either. Its like another world on one of these floating Cities. Harriers are getting a bit past it, but still marvel at the VTOL and the ability to VIB in flight.
:superman:
I have to ask a question though. Did anyone see any person on the Nimitz wearing an Avenger? I am not so good with detail on the move, and I can't say I actually saw anyone with a Ling on their wrist. Did I miss something? Association, yes, but couldn’t they have strapped an Avenger on a pilots wrist before take off, just for the sake of realism?

To all those serving on board, take care.

It would be interesting to see if the watch could hang in a 4G turn inside an F-18. To my knowledge the Lemania 5100 movement is the only one that can handle the G's.

What do we need all that fire-power for? Defend ourselves? Back to watches, I like it a lot.
