Default Midway Magic Feb 2005 Update

Subj: Midway Magic Feb 2005 Update
Date: 2/1/05 259 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: trandall@midway.org

www.midway.org

Midway has been open for over 8 months. We have welcomed aboard visitors from all over the world. Our visitors especially enjoy the audio tours of the ship's main exhibits and the collection of aircraft gracing our flight deck and hangar bays. Museum designers are hard at work to get new exhibits ready for public access later this spring including additional spaces in the berthing compartments and a tour of one of the engine rooms.

Midway Magic continues to spread across the region. News agencies from across the country have reported on our uniqueness as a special events venue, taken behind-the-scenes tours, and conducted a myriad of interviews. All that excitement has been rewarding for the fledgling museum with over 9,800 annual members joining the museum. If you are not already a member you can join now to receive our quarterly newsletter, admission for you and a guest, along with discounts at our museum store and the Fantail Cafe. Go to www.midway.org and click on "join Midway".

Interested in hosting your service group or car club aboard Midway? We now have limited space available for group tours and luncheons. Please reply to this email for an information package. Or to learn more about special events aboard Midway, visit www.midway.org and click on "group events"

We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Default March 2005 Update.

www.midway.org

The aircraft carrier USS Midway is welcoming visitors from across the country and around the world. Folks young and old alike sharing the experience of "a city at sea," taking in the view of San Diego Bay from the flight deck, and coming away with a new appreciation of devotion and dedication to serving one's country. Museum visitors especially enjoy the audio tours of the ship's main exhibits and the collection of fifteen aircraft gracing our flight deck and hangar bays. News agencies from across the country have covered our first months of operations with live broadcast, behind-the-scenes tours, and a myriad of interviews .

NEW EXHIBITS

We recently opened Engine Room #3. Museum designers are hard at work to get new exhibits ready for public access later this spring including additional spaces on the mess decks and exhibits on the main deck. Our collections manager is seeking medical equipment and stories as the displays in Sick Bay and the Dental offices are developed. You can contact Dave Hanson at dhanson@midway.org
