#OTD in 1975, South Vietnamese Air Force Major Buang-Ly stole a Cessna O-1 Bird Dog and landed on USS Midway with his wife and 5 children to escape North Vietnamese forces. Buang made several passes over the carrier to drop notes asking for the crowded deck to be cleared. The Midway's CO Captain Lawrence Chambers ordered $10 million worth of helicopters that had been used to to carry evacuees from Saigon to be pushed overboard so that Buang could land. | U.S. Naval Institute

In 2024, not only did the USS Midway Museum celebrate its 20th anniversary, but we welcomed our 20 millionth visitor, opened new exhibits, received a new F4U Corsair, and introduced two mascots. We also renovated the ship’s Island, broke ground for Freedom Park at Navy Pier, and hosted many events. From our Top Gun Maverick Movie Night and Legacy Week to the San Diego Veterans Day Parade and the Jingle Jets Holiday Lighting Celebration, Midway was the carrier to be on! Thank you to everyone who
