USS Midway Visit - CANCELLED

Special TVSD Village Veterans Event - Tour of USS Midway and lunch.

Mike Rigdon, a Village member who is a Docent / Curator on the USS Midway, is inviting all TVSD Village Veterans (only) for a visit and tour on the USS Midway, along with lunch at the ship's cafeteria.

Everyone should be able to do the visit; however, for those using wheelchairs, walkers, canes and/or unable to do steps well, you will want to visit only the Hanger Bay and Flight Deck as the stairs to the decks above and below these two decks are steep and narrow.

There are two (2) elevators: one (1) to the Hangar Bay and one (1) to the Flight Deck.
