Inside the USS Midway an aircraft carrier used from WW1 to Desert Storm!














































Today was awesome, we stepped foot on this amazing ship and learned all about life in the NAVY! Over 4500 folks live on a ship like the one we walked around today and we seen everything from the tight quarters of the unlisted men to the where the Admiral makes all his major decisions in war time. Not only did we see the ship but we seen all the planes on deck as well. There is a ton of NAVY here in San Diego, we were on tour with a guy who just got back from IRAQ. You go on deck of this ship and look across the water to the ships who just docked that are in active duty. It was very interesting for this country girl...along the tour they had the noises and the smells...very neat. Scott you would of love this one...I have alot of extra pics of the planes for you!!!!

I went on the USS Midway as well. We had a little soiree on the top deck at nite - it was amazing. We didn't get to see all the stuff that you did, but hey, we got to eat and drink instead. I went in the simulators with a Brit ... the flying was a little bland so I tried to roll it ... and thus ended my aviation career! I hear what you're saying about the country girl in the city. Nice to visit for awhile, but the call of the Rocky's can't be beat!
