Trip to USS Lexington
« on: July 20, 2011, 08:28:05 PM »
well, I went to Corpus Christi, Texas for a vacation and had my iPhone handy to take hundreds of pictures. I went to the Aquarium, beach, and the USS Lexington, but I'm pretty sure you guys are more interested in the Lexington than some guys in Speedos :D. It was nice, the ship was big, sometimes I would forget that I was in one because you even had a theater in the front of the ship below the deck, I explored it from Hangar to Bridge. what really surprised me in the Simulator Area (Dogfight, Anti-Air gunner, and F-18 carrier landing) had IL-2, the setting was a Corsair versus a A6M in the pacific, you can see for yourselves in this pile of pictures.

Yup, been to Intrepid. Went a second time for fleet week 2011 (USS Iwo Jima came to visit). They got one of these:

Cool skin Kazegami! You might have seen me there. I was one of the people in a red Intrepid Staff shirt out in the plaza and Hangar Deck. Glad you enjoyed it. Awesome shots of the Lexington, Pixy! Great stuff.

Did the Lex not used to be in P-Cola? Could have sworn that's where I saw it.
