I love visiting the USS Midway Museum because there’s always something new to see. During my visit today I was intrigued by some of the aircraft restoration work that I observed.
The many different airplane and helicopter exhibits, representing different eras of naval aviation history, are already in pretty good condition when they are lifted aboard the aircraft carrier museum, but there’s always work to do. Time and the elements take their toll.
The USS Midway Museum is fortunate to have a small army (or should I say fleet) of skilled and knowledgeable volunteers. Many are retired Navy, with first-hand experience of the history and technical aspects of these aircraft. All are very friendly and welcome questions from museum visitors!

I was on a dependents day cruise aboard the Midway in 1978 when she was ported in Yokosuka, Japan. It was incredible to spend the day aboard her sailing around Sagami Wan (Bay).

That must have been quite an experience! I don’t suppose aircraft were taking off or landing during that day cruise–?

Yes, we had an airshow while out at sea. It was also incredible. A long day and lots of fun, a cook out on the hangar bay and an airshow… Lots of fun! Will always remember it, also I was 7 mths pregnant with our first, so, it was an exhausting day too!
