I'm going to be on the retired aircraft carrier USS Midway for a party that gives us exclusive access to it in about a month. Let me know if you want specific pics of parts of it, will be uploading several pics of the carrier and historic aircraft to /s/W

I'd love to see the elevators and the engine room, possibly the steam catapult propulsion too. The immense power those systems are almost mind boggling.

Of course all of the aircraft would be spectacular. Particularly if they have B-25 Mitchell's.

I look forward to your updates I've never been closer than a mile to an aircraft carrier.

I'll see if I can get a picture of the elevators that doesn't just look like another piece of deck space...outside pictures of it might be best if I can get some. They don't have them active for people to play around with for some reason :P

For sure, some bastards ruin launching from the deck in an office chair for everyone.

I'd be stoked if I could ever make a trip that far south to check it out.

I'm holding over the summer to make it to the USS Blowback and upload some pics of that.

If I ever get these image hosting problems resolved.
