Part 5 of the pictures I took on my trip is the aircraft in the hangar of the USS Yorktown.  These are a bit dark, sorry

F9F 'Cougar', and yes those are stairs and yes you can sit in it and yes I sat in it and yes it was a perfect fit 8)
Image
A-1 Skyraider.  I have seen a bunch of these but I am still shocked by their sheer size every time I see them
Image
I think you all know what this one is...
Image
TBM Avenger
Image
Wildcat (I saw dolphins from the door right behind the plane, got a picture but they were mostly underwater so its a bad picture)
Image
The Navy's first Jet Engine, used on the Ryan Fireball
Image
I know what this is, but do you?

Next up is the Flight Deck, followed by a special post for Theis...

It's just as hard to shoot on the hangar deck of the Yorktown as on the Intrepid, I see... but they're cool snaps regardless.
Let's see now... last pic is part of the catapult mechanism?
;D
