Important Midway Tour Information


Midway Carrier Tour

Yuma Composite Squadron 508 is sponsoring a field trip to the retired aircraft carrier USS Midway in San Diego, CA on Saturday, October 6th.  Sign-up will close a week before the event. I will need to make a reservation and prepay online prior to the tour in order to receive the group discount for a group of 10 or more. Members of Squadron 508 are asked to submit the admission fee of $8 for cadets and $18 for senior members to squadron organizers prior to the day of the tour using exact change. Members of other Arizona Wing squadrons will need to bring the exact fee with them on the 6th to reimburse me for prior payment of their fee. I will only be able to accept cash payment. I will personally be purchasing admission for everyone on the signup list in eWing so be sure the list is accurate at least a week in advance.

Transportation for 508 members attending will be in the CAP van located at our squadron. Other squadron attendees will need to make their own transportation arrangements. We plan to leave from our hangar in Yuma at 0600 on October 6th with tour to start in San Diego at 1000. The tour is self-guided with narration provided by a personal digital device. The tour should end no later than 1400 with expected return to Yuma by 1800. We all are expecting an interesting trip and educational experience during our tour of this historic artifact of US Naval Aviation.
