San Diego - USS Midway - Day 2

On the second day of our trip to San Diego, we toured the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier. It was HUGE! We had a fun time exploring the ship. The best part, though, was the flight simulator. Ryan and I sat in this "box" that was set up to be like a fighter jet cock pit. Each of us could fly the plane, and we played with a computer to try and shoot down other planes. We could turn the plane in any direction and the "box" we were in would respond to the way we were flying. It was really fun! The only problem was that when we went upside down, my feet couldn't touch the pedals to go faster or slower, and I could only grip the trigger for shooting... Ryan just laughed as a constant stream of bullets came from my side of the screen.

We had a blast. Here are some of the things we saw on the aircraft carrier.
