Combat! Navy Cruise 1972 | 8mm cockpit view F-4J VF-114 deployment USS Kitty Hawk
“Navy Cruise 1972” is the 4th and largest 8mm reel containing footage from ~1-Feb 1972 – 30-Sept 1972 during his 1st combat tour aboard the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) flying F-4J’s as a member of VF-114 “Aardvark’s”. A large part of it was shot from the flight deck during flight ops and onboard with him during combat missions. Unfortunately there is no voice to go with it.
I’m joined on this episode by former Blue Angel #1 RADM Denny “Rattler” Wisely USN (Ret.). This was Denny’s 3rd combat cruise with VF-114 and Mad Duck’s wingman a whole lot of times. Denny sat down for a conversation and talks about the realities of combat – the stress, the grind, the fact that you are getting shot at and how you “blow off” steam in the down times just to stay sane.
We review the last ~13 minutes of the 8mm reel as he explains the typical mission profile and tactics we are seeing - actual footage of bombing & TARCAP missions over North Vietnam in the spring & summer of 1972. Along the way he shares some great stories & some special insights about my dad. I was so fortunate to be able to capture these moments between us - thank you Denny! The 8mm is uncut by me, this is how he spliced it and it came off the reel.
