ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

USS Midway 22-08-2023 MIL

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hi!

during our stay in San Diego, we of course took the opportunity to visit the impressive USS Midway Museum. Very interesting and cool to visit an actual aircraft carrier and walk through the various areas of the ship.

There are about 30 aircraft and helicopters present, most of them on the flight deck. Photographing them can be a bit of a challenge due to the people and ropes. So, my advice is too come early.

I needed to look this one up, as I didn't recognized the type...:

Nice selection! We were in San Diego last year but due to time constraints we could not visit the boat and only saw some of it from the harbour tour boat.
I certainly also would have had to look up the Gutless Cutlass.
Groeten, Regards,
René
