USS Midway, San Diego
Sunday, November 25th, 2007
The photos above are taken from the USS Midway, an impressive aircraft carrier with its 47-year odyssey that saw the end of WWII, Vietnam and Desert Storm. She was decommissioned in 1992 and is now permanently docked in San Diego as an interactive museum and memorial. Upper right shows crews fixing the rigging of a much older battleship on display with other historic ships like the Star of India and Berkeley.
On our way back, fires were raging across the mountains close to the freeway which was choked in smoke, while fire-fighting planes and copters drop retardants, but they are no match to the howling wind that threw off smaller cars off the highway. These were fiery times indeed and as turbulent as the USS Midway’s odyssey? You be the judge.
