    I was served on the Indy from 31 December 1987 at the Philadelphia Shipping Yard. Indy completed it SLEP program and what sent to North Island Naval Air Station, San Diego, California. I completed my Navy service on 31 August 1991 when Indy was stationed there. I transferred to US Army and officially retired on 23 September 2009. She was an excellent carrier! Bravo Zulu, Indy!

    Yes, we fixed all the alq-126b, alq-167, alq-108, arl-50, alr-45, alr-67. And all of the chaff despencers. The dang AO'S would always tear them up pretty bad. I don't miss that part. Lol

    Back in 91, an idiot lit up a cigarette in the oxygen room near the fantail and blew himself up. I had to fight that fire, it was directly above our birthing area. First time I ever smelled burnt human flesh. I threw up.

      I served on the Indy in 1971-72 with VA-66. My squadron lost a mechanic at night when he walked in front of the intake of an A-7. Also an E-2 Greyhound went into the water attempting to land killing the 2 pilots. 7 passengers survived.

    Thanks for sharing this video! I had bought a Sony camcorder from the Fleet Exchange before this deployment, and I'd taken similar video on vultures row as well. It's a shame there wasn't any stabilization other than holding my camera as steady as I could. At least your video footage is much less shaky than mine. Take a "like!"

    Does anyone here recall a mishap around 90 - 91 aboard the Indy flight Deck where an airman lost both legs from being run over by an F-18? I am not able to find any documentation but I know it happened because I was there as the corpsman in the flight deck BDS. If you know of or have any information about this please reach out to me.

      I actually believe it was a chalk walker that got run over by a F-14. My Chief ran up to him and used his belt as a tourniquet. I was in VLA at the time and was in the Camera booth. We recorded the video. Only reason I remember it is cause we had to send copies of the tape off to several different places for review. Sad day! Iwas onboard from 90-95
