IR OBP ' HT- ' lilSlt i Air is the first syllable in aircraft carrier and is the first word on the Kitty Hawk. It ' s the Air Department that has the responsibility for getting the aircraft on and off the ship and making sure they have a place to stay when they ' re here. From the aft round down to the forward catapult water brakes 1,062 feet away, the Air Department handles a multitude of equipment and jobs. The jobs aren ' t always glamorous. Doing emergency re- pairs to arresting gear at three in the morning can be dirty, tedious and pressure-motivated. But when there are two dozen planes in the air waiting to wrap their hook around that cable there can be little doubt as to the importance of the job. The jobs -on be hectic. During deployments, exercises can go on or days. The flight deck, under control of the Air Boss, is a beehive of activity throughout these exer- cises with a constant stream of landings, take-offs and relocations of aircraft. Air Department personnel are at the hub of all this activity. The jobs are colorful. Air Department people wear yel- low, purple, blue, green and red jersies identifying their areas of responsibility. r I And those doing the jobs are proud. Long hours on the flight deck or hangar bay or in the machinery spaces below could cause a toll on a man ' s morale, but it doesn ' t happen in the Air Department. It can ' t happen because lives depend on the efforts of this department. So when it ' s time to launch or recover an aircraft, or tci quickly refuel a bird for an immediate mission, the Air Department is there — providing services unique only to an aircraft carrier, and providing them in a unique ner.
