Point Loma Submarine base. On the phone with Neal, asking for directions out of SD harbor. Can you fire up that mission in DW, where you start at Pt. Loma and sail out to sea for training.

It's the ship from the movie, replica, not the real thing.

Catfish 02-28-15 02:57 PM

hehe thanks, for a moment i thought that parts of those stories might have been real :D

San Diego, i think the very first 688(i) sim from Sonalysts also started from there. Lots of interesting things to see there .. thanks again :)

Oooh, very happy to see the Dolphin on exhibit there :D

Hopefully I can make it sometime - maybe even this year! She's a unique one for sure :up:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...a706b63e65d7e0NICE!Thanks for keeping us abreast of your travels:D 'I am accursed in Napa that I was not there!':yep: @ Catfish; this is the real one!(below) Still in commission: USS Constitution at Boston; As in the movie Master and Commander, this American-built frigate would have seriously out-classed the HMS Surprise. The USS Constitution defeated HMS Guerriere and HMS Java in single ship encounters and British frigates were ordered not to engage American frigates one on one as a result, in the war of 1812. https://www.marinersmuseum.org/sites/micro/usnavy/09/09b.htm http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...gun_salute.jpg

That's good enough for me, I sure would like to see that.

Thanks for sharing. Seems like it was a good trip.

Very nice :up:

Interesting those Hornets look like they are set up for long term storage. Must be a long term maintainence depot of dome sort. Looks like they are also chained to the tarmac.

agreed

couple of parts missing on one or two of em

CCIP 02-28-15 11:26 PM

well, the F/A's are on their way out of service - most of the airframes will have reached their certified lifetimes by now. It's an issue here in Canada as well, where our CF-188s are about to "expire" as well, and there's still a big question mark over their replacement.
