Doing the Tourist Thing

AHOY MATEY!!!

What better way to celebrate Memorial Day then a trip to the all mighty Intrepid.

We arrive to find out we were not the only ones with this bright idea. No keep in mind it is fleet week, so there were options. Intrepid-30 minute wait, one of the active visiting ships-2 hour wait. We of course opted for the short line.


"Any of you boys seen an aircraft-carrier around here?"






Claire "the roommate" and her good friend, Laetitia.


20 more minutes until I'm aboard my first aircraft carrier, "Danger Zone" is playing wildly in my head.






Once we were on, looking at the ships people had waited two hours to get on, only to find out they were really crowed, made me feel better about our decision.


"Requesting permission for flyby."


"Well, I just happened to see a MiG 28 do a 4g negative dive."


"Mustang, this is Voodoo 3. Remaining MiGs are bugging out."


The Huey


This thing looked pretty badass.


Suckers waiting in line.


This planes flies 16 miles high at Mach 3.


"It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."


Laetitia, Me, and Claire
