| This DVD contains the actual, uncut Public Affairs Office (PAO) produced film of the WESTPAC deployment of USS Kitty Hawk in 1994. |
| This was produced by the ship as a 'video cruise book', and is a great record of the 1994 WESTPAC. |
| -Very cool footage- |
| Great scenes of the entire ship, and most departments are visited. |
| Includes interviews with many crewmembers, as well as the CO. Also includes period news footage related to operations that the Kitty Hawk was involved in. |
| Good UNREP and VERTREP scenes. |
| Great flight operations, filmed from multiple vantage points, including from the air. |
| Also includes liberty scenes. |
| Excellent footage of the 'home coming' when she returned from deployment, with the families waiting on the pier. Having experienced this myself, this is the best part of any cruise. |
| About 54 minutes running time. |

| Produced by GRS Videos (TM). GRS Videos is dedicated to the preservation of
Naval Aviation film footage. This passion began when the son of a recently
deceased Korean War veteran told me how he had thrown away all of those "old
8mm films of planes flying off of a ship". Yes, I cried. Our heritage MUST
be preserved. As a veteran of Naval Aviation, I have a strong interest in
ensuring that our stories are not forgotten.
If you have footage (16mm, 8mm, VHS, Super 8, Beta, or Digital) contact me at
PLAT_Collector@verizon.net. I will also gladly trade any footage I have for
new footage (any format). So, if I have Naval Aviation footage you want, and
you have something I do not have, contact me and I am confident we can work
something out. I am always looking for new PLAT mishaps and home movies/video
of carrier operations and life on carriers.
All proceeds go into obtaining and preserving more Naval Aviation footage.
