The launch of Navy Gold!
August 26th, 2009 | Navy Gold | Posted by Erik Hildebrandt
Thank you for checking in for the latest news and progress reports about this incredible new project that is currently underway out in the Fleet. Photographer Erik Hildebrandt will be updating this site regularly with results from his most recent photo missions around the globe as he races to capture every single Naval Aviation community and aircraft platform in time to release this next book by 2011, the 100 year anniversary of Naval Aviation.
Starting with Erik’s re-qualification courses for water survival and aero-medical flight physiology, this site will track his journey throughout the Fleet over the next 24 months as he creates the imagery that will constitute this unprecedented historic record of the United States Naval Air Forces.
Get ready to get wet the next time you log on in Mid- March to read about the Helo Dunker and other aquatic torture devices designed to induce panic and weed out the sinkers from the floaters. The first stop on this journey starts in the pool at NAS Norfolk to get the quals for the next two years of back-seat photo chasing in everything from fast-moving Rhinos to the cushy airline seats of a C-9 and anything in between.
If you like seeing it from the inside and appreciate the chance to ride along, then saddle up and snap a salute to the shooter, because WE are going for not just one, not just two, but a boat load of incredible rides that will throw you back in the seat and make you scream into your mask as you are hurled down the deck and into the adventure of :
FLY NAVY!
