It was a nice setup today.
Free breakfast burritos, coffee, sodas and water.
Got a little Ford swag bag too.

I ask as a previous owner of naturally aspirated Lightnings. (a '94 and a '99).

Hope you had fun! It would be nice if someone would maintain the ship or let it go though.

There were only maybe 10 Lightning’s there. They were on the far side of the ship.
Didn’t think about taking pictures of them, sorry.

It’s actually a museum ship.
They do tours @ $25 a pop. $15 for kids and Veterans.
My guess is it’s a lot better maintained vs the moth Ball ships.

Nice lineup of the Mustangs, great picture. I’d pay $25 to tour that ship.

I understand Coach. I just thought that we could honor those that served a little better. I suspect that it is being displayed as a warrior or warship. I just hate to see a warship in bad shape. To me, it is like displaying a US flag with holes. Then, I guess the sailor in me just lives on. Sorry. Nonetheless, I hope you had a good time! I remember people enjoying tours, when I had to lead them.
