PHILIPPINE SEA (May 8, 2008) -- Two aircraft directors wait to taxi a
Strike Fighter Squadron 102 F/A-18F Super Hornet as it lands on the
flight deck aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63).
Aircraft directors are responsible for safely moving aircraft on the
flight deck. Kitty Hawk and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 are on a spring
deployment -- the ship's last before being replaced by USS George
Washington (CVN 73) as the Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft
carrier. Kitty Hawk operates from Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan.
