I helped with getting in the way for a few days. I could spot the ladder too. Filmed in 2017 threw me back. Days seem to drag while years fly by. Great movie Kert. Thank you.
As a (1940's thru) 1950's Naval Aviator's son I was very fortunate to be one of those photographing the HUP's crane lift aboard IOWA, as a PBC volunteer. Somewhat of a nail-biter seeing such a rare and historic object so high off the deck. The helicopter graveyard at the very end is sobering. It's duplicated too many places for all forms of aviation.
