Those of you who are really into space stuff, especially the Apollo missions, will know the name USS Hornet. The Hornet is the aircraft carrier which recovered Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins after the first moon landing.
This fine old ship has been saved from scrap, and is now a museum, right there in Alameda at Alameda Point.
Alameda Point used to be Alameda Naval Air Station, as featured in Star Trek - The Voyage Home; of course, Checkov spent all his time on a nuclear carrier, and never really got to walk around outside.
Anyway, these are some photos of the Hornet I took while practicing with my D80 last night. Enjoy...

You captured my favorite time of day. While the USS HOrnet is a proud and mighty vessel....the soft glow of sunset has warmed her.
Just beautiful!
