TESTIMONIALS
We loved our tour of the Midway! Cannot wait to go back and see what we missed. So much history and we really appreciated the historians that gave their stories. We really enjoyed it!
Aunque no seas fan de la Marina de Estados Unidos es impresionante ver este portaaviones ahora convertido en museo! Si estás en San Diego no dejes de visitarlo!
Desde cualquier punto de vista, la visita a este increíble museo te hace pensar y reflexionar sobre la creación del sistema de armas mas destructivo del mundo. Tiene un formato muy amigable, donde puedes utilizar una radio programable (distintos idiomas) el cual relata la información o las distintas historias que dieron vida a esta ciudad flotante. Es para toda la familia, pero considerar que se camina bastante y hay muchas escaleras. Tienda de recuerdos, patio de comidas, simuladores, etc. Imperdible si vas a San Diego.
Step in to enjoy history and to appreciate and reflect on the sacrifice our servicemen made in Times past for this great country. I could spend hours, or days on this ship. It’s just so massive and every corner has a story to tell. I’ll surely go back again soon. Be prepared to spend at least a couple of hours here, 3 hours was not nearly enough.
We went with our 3 children (12 10 and 8) the information desk gives a pamphlet to "earn your junior wings" keeps the kids occupied for a while - we were there for 4 hours! At the end the girls went to get their wings and a Pilot from WW2 just happened to be there and presented them ! Highlight of their day! Also they were showing Top Gun on their Top deck that night - we did not go but how cool! They often have activities we were told.
If you go to San Diego the USS Midway a must see attraction! Make sure you give yourself enough time to tour and listen to the amazing volunteers tell their stories. It was a great day-wish we had more time!

Last night, we had our annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner, and it was an incredible opportunity to honor and celebrate the volunteers who make Midway what it is.
It gives us great pleasure to congratulate Paul “Chappie” Ward for being selected as the 2023 Midway Volunteer of the Year! Paul has been an outstanding volunteer who has consistently gone above and beyond in his service to Midway.
We would also like to extend our congratulations to all the other nominees for their outstanding service, and express our heartfelt gratitude to ALL our Midway volunteers who make Midway Magic a reality!✨⚓️

One of the favorites of the many visitor spaces on the USS Midway is the Tactical Flag Command Center (TFCC), which is part of the “Admiral’s Country” tour route. During the ship’s operational life, this was a very secure area. 🛑
The Admiral’s staff manned this space, and the information gathered here helped the Admiral make decisions about the Task Force missions and movements. Did you know that the first Tactical Flag Command Center on an aircraft carrier was installed on the USS Midway while it was homeported in Yokosuka, Japan?
This space captures what it looked like during its last combat mission in 1991: Operation Desert Storm. Come and see it! ⚓️

In a historic moment, seven talented female lieutenants soared the skies during the 2023 Super Bowl LVII opening festivities! 🎉
Arielle Ash, hailing from Abilene, commanded the diamond formation in her F/A-18F Super Hornet. She earned her aviator`s wings in 2018 and marked her second game flyover at the Super Bowl after a college game in Texas. 🙌
Tampa`s own Saree Moreno, a 2014 Naval Academy graduate, showcased her expertise as a naval flight officer on the Super Hornet. 🌟
In the slot position at the formation`s rear, Suzelle Thomas piloted the F-35 Lightning II, a groundbreaking achievement as the first female to train on the naval F-35. ⚡
Peggy Dente and Lyndsay Evans dominated the right wing position in the EA-18G Growler Hornet, while Caitie Perkowski, a 2015 Naval Academy graduate, led the left wing in another Super Hornet, accompanied by Academy fencing champion Naomi Ngalle from Springfield, Virginia, as the Weapons System Officer.
These trailblazing aviators continue to inspire us all! 🇺🇸✈️👏
