The USS Hornet Museum

USS Hornet

     USS Hornet is a very old retired Aircraft Carrier with a lot of protective boats around. Airplanes were launched and also landed at there. Many kinds of planes find their last stop there. Why not go check it out?

The runaway

 

 



TBM-3 Avenger plane

      There are many airplanes like the TBM-3 Avenger plane and many others. TBM-3 Avenger planes carry very heavy bombs. On the Pearl Harbor attack, a plane called Avenger landed a bomb. The Avenger could go at the speed of  267 M.P.H. That is very fast. They even have the real TBM-3 Avenger plane, not a model. They can have any color they want but there's one thing you can't change. The shape of the plane. They're all the same shape which allows them to go at high speed.

Watching a video about
the Apollo landing

     USS Hornet  is known for picking up Apollo 11 and 12. Apollo 11 and 12 landed in the ocean water. The USS Hornet sent an airplane that used a net to catch up all the crew members to safety. If you want to know more, you can go there and watch a relaxing video about the Apollo landing.

 

The aircraft simulator

     There was an aircraft simulator. It had single ride and double ride. The scenes were both different so don't worry if it's repeated. The seats are very comfy so all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. You get shook so if you feel sick you shouldn't go out. Just close your eyes until it stops.

 

     USS Hornet is filled with things, good or fun. I think everything is very good. Airplanes are well preserved. They give you spot to rest and explore. USS Hornet is awesome!
