WOW.

I wonder if the CWG-2 will be aboard the Lincoln, or will fly off.

I heard that CVW-2 will not be on the deck. Just a few aircraft only.

Looking forward to it. Should be really cool to see Honest Abe. I rememeber when CVN-72 had an open house in the early 90's at the now defunct Long Beach Naval Shipyard.

I saw the USS New Jersey and USS Might Mo back in the day at Long Beach Naval Shipyard
