While lazing away the days on Coronado Island, we decided to visit the Naval Museum now housed on the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier now docked in the beautiful San Diego Bay/Harbor. What an interesting day.
I really felt like a big ole SALUTE as we boarded the ship.
No, this is not a sneak photo of Hugh. The Midway museum has various Naval mannequins to help visitors get the full uhhh experience.
This is the operations room where the pilots would come to hear what targets they were to drop bombs on that day. Note, every seat has an ashtray.
No, this isn't Hugh either. But it could be. With 5,000 sailors onboard, they also needed doctors, dentists and surgical suites. The captain made an effort to find calm waters when a surgery was in progress.
Dozens of airplanes and helicopters covered the flight deck. It was so interesting to learn the history and purpose of each type of aircraft. American ingenuity at its finest.

Holy cow that reminds me of my going on board to see my Father when he was in the Navy (retired now after 25 years).
It was nice to see you at the Funeral - too bad I could not catch the two of you afterward it would have been nice to chat!
