I flew off Midway in the early 50's in the AJ-1 Savage. I was in VC-5 and we operated primarily out of Port Lyautey because we were too big and fouled up the deck as this was way before canted decks.

Served Onboard USS Midway from 1980-1984, attached to E-Division. This ship was the most memorable highlight of my career until retirement, all because of the people that I served with, and the places that the Midway took us. If there is anybody that I served with that would like to contact me, my Email address is available.

Very much appreciate your discussion of the Midway. I served aboard very briefly in summer of 1978 while liaising (there's a military word for you) w/JMSDF. The Navyman page brought a tear to my eye. I race in ocean-going sailboats for fun, and people often ask why I'm a good shipmate. I always credit my time afloat with the USN.

I am truly pleased that the rumors about the midway being sunk to make a man made reef of of san diego proved to be false and can't wait to come out for the grand opening of the monument next year.
