Re: CV-41 Midway Museum

Terrific pictures.

A companion floating museum in Northern California is the USS Hornet in Alameda. Here is a link to its website: http://www.uss-hornet.org/index.html

Lots of history with the Hornet, including the recovery of the first men on the moon, Apollo 11 and Apollo 12. Plus there is a Tomcat from VF-41 on the hangar deck.

I spent a night on the Hornet last year with my Boy Scouts in the Hornet's Live Aboard program and it was quite an experience for the boys, especially spending time on the flight deck at night under the stars and telling ghost stories in the fo'c'sle. Highly recommended.
