Between 5,000 - 6,000 sailors

generally , there will be about 3,500 sailors permanently attached to the ship it's self

then another 2,500 sailors who will be attached to the air wings them selves , they'll come and go as the air wings come and go

typically , when fully deployed , there will be close to 6,000 sailors on board

and as far as air craft , we always said it could carry 90 air craft , but seldom , would there actually be 90 air craft on board at the same time

so I would say , usually probably around 70-75 air craft on board , that includes the fighters , awacs aircraft , helicopters , transports planes , etc
