On May 1st, 2003 US President George W. Bush selected the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Pacific Ocean as the venue to officially announce the end of hostilities in Iraq.
While at the controls of an S-3B Viking aircraft designated “Navy One” he over flew the carrier before handing over to the pilot for the landing.
Attired in full navel aviator flight equipment, the President then took the salute on the deck of the carrier. The aircraft used for this historic event was from the “Blue Sea Wolves” of Sea Control Squadron Three Five (VS-35).
$39.99.
