On Saturday we arrived in San Diego. Our first stop was the Aircraft Carrier Museum where we got a chance to tour the Carrier Midway.
We saw a lot of interesting sights including fighter aircraft like this F-14 Tomcat below.
We were also lucky enough to be able to sit down with one of the carrier pilots from the Midway as he talked with us about the experience of landing an plane on an aircraft carrier, even at night!. Very interesting. The plane below is an F-18 Hornet, one that Dave flew a lot (in a video game that is).
In addition to airplanes there were helicopters on deck including the one that recovered 5 Apollo capsules.
Here is a shot down the take off catapult and the end of the carrier.
