That is just SH! I wish I could be there for that one. I gotta make some calls to the buds at Randolph AFB to get their $sses down there and go NAVY for a day. Ghost Rider.......the pattern will definitely be full. Thanks for setting that up

I would really love to do this!!! My father served aboard this carrier in WWII. I have some memorabilia from the ship that I have been planning to donate to their museum after his death.

I would love to be a part of this...but nearly 1,300 miles and work both the Friday before and the Monday after will prevent me from making it. I will have to get a picture!

... Each owner will drive tier Vette up the loading ramp and on to the elevator. From there the owners and vettes will be lifted to the flight deck. Then the owners will drive on the flight deck to their assigned spot. We at the CC Corvette Club want each participate to have the best experience as possible. Thanks!

I was stationed on the Lex in the late 60's. I have always wanted to go back and see her with my wife. This event would be a great time to visit. Were going to try and make the event.

I sent my registration by express mail yesterday. I always regretted not visiting the Lexington when she was stationed in Pensacola, so my nephew, who is all about everything Navy, and I will not miss this event!
Update: There are three Corvettes from the Emerald Coast Corvette Club hoping to make the list!
