Damm airplane sat up there by El 3 the whole rest of the cruise, too!

Kinda got in the way of the lens sometimes... ;-)

I'm confused. If the Hornet 'hulk' was parked back on Elevator 3 (located on
the Starboard side, Aft) why would it interfere with the lens (located on
the Port side, Amidships)?


IIRC, El 3 on Midway was port side aft -- only 3 elevators, 3 wires, and 2 cats
on the boat.

Of course, my memory has faded in the 21 years since I was aboard... But I DO
remember it was a Phantom, not a Hornet!
