Creator's Key Takeaways

the USS Midway is the longest serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century and ran from 1945 until 1992

we were informed by one of the volunteers that this gets very busy later in the day so it was ideal to do it first thing

you can even sit in an F14 cockpit up here that's awesome

it was really neat to see what ran this massive ship
