Commemorating the 35th Anniversary of April 30, 1975
Join us on April 30, 2010 to commemorate a very important day in the USS Midway's and Vietnam's history. It is the 35th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and one particular historic mission : the Operation Frequent Wind, the humanitarian mission when USS Midway sailors rescued more than 3,000 Vietnamese refugees fleeing the fall of Saigon.
The general public is invited to a special ceremony at 12 noon on the flight deck, featuring the 1975 captain of Midway, Larry Chambers, and the 1975 air boss of Midway, Vern Jumper, plus Vietnamese performances and entertainment.
Tickets are $20 for adults which includes a commemorative pin. Seniors and youth can purchase regular admission with commemorative pins available for sale in the museum gift shop.
