downtown San Diego

Aircraft Carrier USS Midway

I snagged this one shortly after takeoff, on a flight from San Diego International to Dulles.

In port that day: the Celebrity Century and the USS Midway (thanks jpo).
At the top of the photo, you can see Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo.

A lot going on in this photo--- probably best viewed large.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

It's the USS Midway, launched in 1945 and brought to San Diego in 2004 to serve as a museum.

Just ran across your photos - this is really nice. I fly out of San Diego all the time and it's rarely this clear. Good one!
