USS Midway

The USS Midway is an aircraft carrier in San Diego that is now a museum. Commissioned in 1945, the Midway served in WW II, Vietnam and Desert Storm. It was so amazing to tour the ship, see the aircraft and experience the enormity of a vassal that large. We took a ton of pictures so it's hard picking out which ones to post...but I'll try to give you an overview of our tour.
This is the aircraft pilots trained on and here we are taking a tour of the inside of a fighter plane.

Cameron and I take a simulation and Young trying to imagine life sleeping in the bunk beds
I can't remember all the different planes we saw but here we are on the upper deck...so many aircraft.

Timothy and Daryl were buddies the whole trip...and here we are aboard a helicopter.
