USS Ronald Reagan


USS Ronald Reagan

An rare opportunity to go onboard! 'Wah's and 'Wow's were flying out of our mouths non-stop!

The experience was great! We took a lift on the hydraulic platform to the flighdeck. F18s lined up neatly with wings folded. Hawkeye's massive wings tilted to the back! Walking from one end of the ship to the other took like 10 mins? It's amazing how people live in such claustophobic environmentts! Heh, they claim that a father and son worked on the same ship, never saw eachother for like 2 years?

It's like a floating city!

Bought a engraved Zippo light and a Admiral ball cap. That busted my wallet a LOT.
