The Intrepid was probably the best ship I've been on. Nice hybrid of ship and naval history and aviation
I'd love to go on a carrier
I saw our last carrier from dock one but that was in Naval commission still at the time so obviously wasn't allowed on it
I have no idea what phone I had so I can't find my detailed pics
But there was a pic passing by when I was on chauffer duty
there is the enterprise. literally the only pic I took that day
damn
very ncie
Is it in the Smithsonian?
the blackbird
there are two
another thing I'd love to see
one on the Intrepid and another in DC
but its not downtown
I love the cold war era of technology for its madness
its this second museum out by Dulles airport
which, frankly, is better than the one on the mall
I need to plan a trip down to Bovington when I have time
that would be amazing
Seeing all those panzers start up and parade around etc
That is something I would like to have around me
Nearest tank museum was at Aberdeen Proving Grounds and had some really great stuff, but closed a few years ago
Bovingon is a 5(?) hour drive or so from me
so I think i'd visit relatives who are an hour or so away the night before to crash
I know my great uncle there has a big love of tanks so i think he's like to go round with me
I also think he knows the Curator there
so he may be able to rustle up a premiumâ„¢ tour
damn
everyone be like "5 hour drive be so much"
the farthest I've gone near non-stop was my house to Maine
which was 12 hours
but more like 10 the way I was driving
We're a relatvely small country obvs
so a 5 hour drive is pretty big
5 hours is still 5 hours
just do it
lmao
