I love visiting the Yorktown. We were able to watch fireworks on July 4th one year from the flight deck. It was extremely hot though.
Hot? Heck yes! It was in the 90's the entire time here. But it was worth every drop of sweat visiting here. Were heading out in a hour or two. But we will be coming back. I bet seeing the fireworks from the flight deck was very cool!
Thanks for sharing your experience Steve.
My pleasure. Once I get home I'll post some more. At the moment we are at Woodbridge, VA. Just spent 8 hours of hell on 95 north. Time for a few shots and beers!

Good luck on trip back. Yes, amazing! Glad you were able to go visit it. I really enjoyed the Vietnam section also.
Thanks for the pics Steve . I have a few things that belonged to my Uncle when he was on board . I heard alot of stories when I was young . Yorktown has a history from World war 2 thru Vietnam .
While waiting for breakfast. Here are more pics.

Wow this thread has legs, as they say in journalism.
I had a job that sometimes took me to military bases in the South and East. That was when the commissaries were first adopting the 802.11 wireless technology.
I sought out BBQ places and I tried to avoid the big glitzy places and go more for a mom-and-pop place.
One thing that struck me was, the smoke flavor of the meat was much more subtle. When you walk in the door you can smell wood smoke but when you get the meat it tastes like it's oven-roasted with just a nice flavor of smoke.
BBQ here in Ohio is usually THIS IS SMOKED CAN YOU TASTE IT YET IT'S SMOKED
And in the South, in some places you automatically get iced tea. That's nice in the heat; it has a sort of bitter pull like drinking aspirin.
Wait, this is a Myrtle Beach thread. I've been there once on a family vacation, ~1972. There was a little resort place called the Blue Surf. It was a few cottages along the beach, and a front office. So we had our own household right there on the beach for a few days. I was 14 years old.
They had a Coca-Cola vending machine that dispensed the 6-ounce glass bottles. They had it set so cold that when you popped the cap, you could watch a finger of frost form down the center of the bottle. Had to wait for it to thaw but darn it was cold and sweet.
