Default Satellite Spots China's First Aircraft Carrie

PhotoBlog - Satellite spots China's first aircraft carrier at sea

Hmmm, an aircraft carrier that appears to have no aircraft on it. Maybe they're all below decks!

The second picture (with the clouds) is intriguing - I can't see anything but clouds everywhere.

We send our carriers to sea all the time without aircraft.

Judging from the last flashlight I bought at Wal-Mart I sure as heck would want to go to sea in a Aircraft carrier that had a made in China tag on it!

If you dont mind, Grumble, are you still flying for the Navy, or are you on the civilian side now? Just curious. I imagine Grumble is your callsign/nickname (whichever term you prefer)...can I ask the story behind that?
