Is Midway haunted? No, it's just our newly restored F-4S Phantom! One of the most versatile aircraft in the history of the Navy, the Phantom will be the fourth restored aircraft on board Midway and will join the flight deck ballet at the trap.

Volunteers have begun restoration of the ship's mess decks and island superstructure. If you are available to volunteer, please contact Lynda Newton at midwayvols@san.rr.com for more information.

Our Board of Directors is planning a limited number of opening celebrations on board Midway. If you have not already joined our Circle of Friends and are interested in being a part of grand-opening events, please visit our Circle of Friends web site at www.midway.org/help/help.htm for additional information on the benefits of joining our Circle of Friends (including invitations to an opening celebration). Your donation will go towards the restoration of the vessel. Membership programs will be available on our web site later this spring.

We appreciate the time and effort each of our board members and volunteers have devoted to developing what will become the American flagship of floating naval aviation museums. We look forward to welcoming the public aboard Midway in June 2004.

Sincerely,
Riley D. Mixson
RADM, USN (Ret.)
