USS Midway Museum
I visited the USS Midway museum a few days ago in San Diego, thanks to the
discussion here. That is a beautifully preserved ship. The volunteers have done a great job with her. I asked a docent about a few off-limits areas. He said that the Admiral's quarters should be open to the public in about a year, and they're hoping to get CIC open as well, but have to deal with PCB issues. I spent about 3.5 hours walking around and I imagine that when the other areas are open, it could take a lot longer to see everything. The planes are beautifully restored. Only downside is that they're a little light on older aircraft. No Spad, for instance, and they could use some other Korea era aircraft as well. Also, a Seahawk would be a nice addition. D |
