While Darlene and Richard were here we toured the Aircraft Carrier Midway. There was an A-6 on it with a zillion other planes. The unique thing about the A-6 is that it is the plane that my brother Vern flew while he was in the Navy. It was a big plane that could refuel in the air during the Vietnam War. The pilot and navigator sat side by side. It was a reminder of the sacrifice so many have given to keep our country a land of freedom and opportunity. I'm not sure if he flew onto the Midway but he did fly from an aircraft carrier when he was at sea.
The aircraft carrier is huge. When at sea, besides all of the planes and other things, there were 4300 people aboard.
