USS Midway Museum

Oh, dear.

Well, meanwhile, I was at an actual aircraft carrier, the USS Midway Museum here in San Diego, which is a fantastic thing to see when you're here.

I agree.

It's great fun.

Uh, there is the Yorktown in the Carolinas, and then there's Intrepid in New York.

And then the final aircraft carrier museum is the Midway down in San Diego, but that's slightly younger, um-

Okay [laughs]

... and bigger.

Some of us might, might know him.

He was the longest, uh, one of the longest running, uh, uh, docents, uh, and volunteers down at the Midway, Al Hanson.

On paper, Al Hanson is 99 years old.

According to the United States Navy, he's 100 years old-

Well, you're a time traveler.

USS Midway.

I got my USS Midway hat here.

Yeah.

One of the coolest things I've ever done.

... uh, cruise ships.

Uh, now we weren't too far from the USS Midway, which is now a museum.

And that statue, you know that picture coming home from World War II where the sailor kisses his girl? There's a statue, oh, I don't know, 12, 15 feet tall.

I guess they were bigger people back then.

And, um, they finally creeped back into San Diego.

And if you're ever in San Diego, I would invite you to visit the USS Midway.

That's the ship I was on.

It's a museum now in San Diego, and you can take a tour through there.

I don't know, [laughs] uh, what happened after I left, but, uh, it, it still should be there.

Yeah.

So, uh, if you're ever there, take a little tour of the USS Midway.

With a photo of Sweet Daddy Link.

That's kind of a cool little area and, and, and everything else.

USS Midway is ported there.

So, um, it's a, it's a cool little area.

Absolutely.
