[@watsonhastings]

Wow, I didn't even know this video existed. USS Midway was my 1st ship and home during Desert Storm. It was cool to see some of the old birds from HS-12. GO Wyverns! great video and good memories 613 lands on spot 3 one of the more difficult places to land a helo for an LSE.

I’m so very sorry for your shipmates and for your experience, my husband was serving with you then.

The Midway Only Had 2 Forward Cats, As Compared To My Ship ( CVN-69 ) Which Had 4.
