Hi all

James Fullingim (adws) announced last week that he was going to Corpus Christi and visit the USS Lexington CV-16.
So, he was kind enough to share all his pictures of his visit for our enjoyment and reference!

Just in time for Garry Beebe Flattops Campaign - if you are going to make a modified CV-16

Thank you James

Skipper

It is my honor to share the photos with everybody here. I just hope they could be of use to someone other than myself.

Very Nice.....
Enjoyed the photos.
Hard to believe I use to jog around the flight deck, and today, I'd drop dead trying to jog from port to starboard. :-) :-)

Maybe someday I'll share my fell asleep in the safety nets story.....

I understand you perfectly Dave - it is called The Sign of the Times

This is the right place to give a human factor to the photos James took
So... what happened to you?
Where did you wake up (or how?)?

;)
