The Mighty Midway- part 2 (last)

More from this excellent floating museum:

Not a huge collection of aircraft, but some good 'uns...

Never seen one of these before: a Douglas Skywarrior, aka "Whale".

Another new one to me: Lockheed S-3 Viking.

It was very hard to get decent photos belowdecks, but here's a few good ones... first, a control station in the boiler room. The docent in charge there had spent quite some time down there when Intrepid was in service, and he had a lot to say about the huge 500-lb. steam-turbine system use to propel the ship.

Just a small part of the enormous galley:

The officers' wardroom was fancier, but I decided to post this pic of the "dirty shirt" room instead. ;D
Not bad, really...

One of the best things about this museum is that for the most part you get the feeling that the crew is there somewhere- not much has been changed.
