Awesome stuff. Kinda neat that they have mannequins in pilot gear sitting in the cockpits, and mock ordnance on the pylons.
I wanted to go see the
Intrepid in NYC when I was there a couple of years back, but my friends weren't interested

I think the Midway and the Coral Sea were the last two carriers in the US Navy to have Phantom IIs fly from them. I'm assuming those were eventually replaced with F/A-18s since that class of ship wasn't supposed to be able to handle F-14s.
Did they have any A-4s, A-7s or F-8s on hand? I would have thought they'd have been used all on the Midway at some point.

They had a A-7 and F-8 as well.
