The USS Midway is a naval air craft carrier named after the Battle of Midway which took place in June 1942.
The aircraft carrier had dozens of fighter jets and helicopters on the hanger level and flight deck. Here are some of the awesome features of the planes:
- Fold-up-wings so you can fit more planes on deck.
- Bombs, missiles and guns.
- Nozzle for refuelling in mid-air from a special tanker plane.
- Pilots can lower a hook which catches a wire on the deck called a trap. The wire slows the plane down so they don’t fall off the edge of the short runway.
This is me flying a fighter jet. I really liked all of the controls such as:
- Buttons
- Switches
- Handles
- Dials
- Screens for information.
On a ship they have a jail called a brig. You would be sent to the brig if you didn’t follow orders. Me and daddy got locked up for wasting the food rations on board!

Hi Daniel,
It looks as if you are having a great trip. Don’t you waste the rations in our room when you get back (Levi) cause we’ll have to build a brig to put you in. Where are you going next? We are enjoying your blogs, but we would like to hear a bit more about your epic adventures (Michael). When you get back can you teach us all how to fly? (Bella)
We miss you so much.
