USS MIDWAY Museum "Meet The Aviators" open house over Memorial Day weekend in San Diego. A large group of former MIDWAY Pilots/Crewmen volunteered to stand by their 'type' display aircraft & explain their mission/answer questions. A few photos from the successful event.BzB

BzB, those are some fantastic photos! Thanks for posting them.

John (The Chief) and I are getting together for lunch again next week, wish you could join us two old farts. Oh... Ron called me tonight… he’s another old fart.

BzB, know who was standing in for the Hawkeye?

I saw the E-2 spotted across the landing area just forward of the island. Didn't get over there as we had only 1 COD Crew to present the ship's C-1A. Did hit the Skyhawk on the way off, a quick visit with "T.R." Swartz, the legendary A-4 Zuni-shootin' MIG Killer. Kids were swarming the Skyhawk, like ants on their hill!

This picture threw me off at first but Columbia says it's legit. I guess helicopters are good for towing too. who woulda thought...

The article here explains the story behind the photo.

I guess it makes sense since 53s pull the mine sleds, but it's still a crazy picture.

For those in the know, do the NASA -38's (or 38's in general) have radar? That looks like a nose cone with a (tiny) radar behind it, but I could be mistaken.

 

[jmcquate]

None that I know of, but I delt with them 15 years ago.

Just like the F-5s in KNQX, if they have a radar, more than likely it doesn't work...

Love the lines on the T-38/F-5.
