The state of preservation of equipment on both the Hornet and the Lexington is remarkable.

Really is amazing. I would love to have that as a job or hobby.

That one picture of the International Harvester tractor...wow...just wow. It looks like you could start her right up.

Chained to the hangar deck.

Chained to the hangar deck.

I find it interesting that it would be chained down during a battle, when it was needed most...

Hopefully with Paul Allen's passing he has set up a funding and management legacy to keep these expeditions and his flying/armour museum active and growing.

Sure, why not?
It is a "cornbinder" after all!

 

[vikingBerserker]

That would make a heck of an ad for their durability.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Absolutely amazing.

 

[mikewint]

Indeed, absolutely amazing

 

[XBe02Drvr]

Found this on You tube.Video of many different parts of the ship with location descriptions. The state of the ship is truly amazing.
