Awesome.


I am a military/history fan.

I always wanted to know how many people were killed by the big guns, you always see dirt fly everywhere on the land, but it always seemed so random.

I watched the fireworks from the deck last year. Toured it before but I wish the shuttle was there at that point. It was pretty cool. They have a mock video/interaction where the ship is getting bombed and they have smoke come out where a bomb hit and killed a lot of sailors. They also have a to scale Lego model of the ship which is cool as hell. All the planes of different eras on the deck is also pretty cool.
sounds great I need to find one like that On the west coast, NY is a ways from AZ. didn't a shuttle end up in LA?

yeah one in LA
2 in northeast
one in florida
still think I was stupid to stop the program

Obviously not nearly as cool, but have you ever seen the airplane graveyard at Davis Monthan AFB in Tuscon? That's pretty cool.

Pretty cool stuff. I spent 4 or 5 hours going through the battleship Missouri in Hawaii last year, and I would've loved to go into the non-public areas.

It's interesting to me to see the various rooms and remember that each area was the daily workplace for certain people on the ship, and they probably knew every square inch of it.

I've never seen the Missouri in person. I think I've seen all the rest of the Iowa class battleships - they were still active when I was in. I saw the Iowa fire her 16" guns once. That was amazing. And very, very loud.
