the sling of a carrier vessel crash crane to an F/A-18 Hornet in order
to remove the aircraft from the Landing Area of the flight deck during
a drill aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington
(CVN-73). George Washington is conducting carrier qualifications for
the first time since completing a Docked Planned Incremental
