The Toys of the USS Wasp
Sorry, we lost power for several hours last night, due to a fire at a power plant not far away, and with it went my post. I'm too busy to reconstruct the post and since I was uploading pics from my digital camera, I lost those too. Soooo, here's a few pics I found courtesy of the navy.
At this site you can find a list of all the equipment aboard the USS Wasp. And here you can peruse the pictures taken by someone else who visited the ship, The irony, from the pics I recognize that they were they guys who were standing in line behind me. It is a small world.
Below are a few of my own. First up are the BLUE ANGELS IN FORMATION. This is what they looked like to me as they passed overhead during that day's memorial ceremony.
Next is a pic of the Osprey
Land Amphibious Craft 
SH-60 seahawk helicopter 
Finally, Mark of Knocking on the Golden Door posted on his site 2 videos of Marine Drill Teams performing flawless routines that were breath taking. Go watch.

Michele, when you say you were uploading from your camera so you 'lost' those pics, do you mean just that you don't have your camera at the moment?
Because even if images have been 'moved' or 'deleted' from your camera's card, they are still recoverable.
Love the Blue Angels pic, and that Osprey is one ungainly lookin' bird!!

I am very excited because for the first time in a couple decades the Blue Angels will be at the Willow Run Air Show in July.
I live close to the airport and can see the Air Show from my backyard.
