USS Midway (CV-41)

USS Midway (CVB/CVA/CV-41) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, the lead ship of its class. Commissioned a week after the end of World War II, Midway was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transit the Panama Canal. A revolutionary hull design, based on the planned Montana-class battleship, gave it better maneuverability than previous carriers. It operated for an unprecedented 47 years, during which time it saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in 1991's Operation Desert Storm. Decommissioned in 1992, it is now a museum ship at the USS Midway Museum, in San Diego, California, and the only remaining U.S. aircraft carrier of the World War II era that is not an Essex-class aircraft carrier.

Early operations and deployment with the 6th Fleet

Midway was laid down 27 October 1943 by Newport News Shipbuilding Co., Newport News, Virginia; launched 20 March 1945, sponsored by Mrs. Bradford William Ripley, Jr.; and commissioned on 10 September 1945 (eight days after the Surrender of Japan) with Captain Joseph F. Bolger in command.

Voisey's Bay Aerodrome

Voisey's Bay Aerodrome, (TC LID: CVB2), is located adjacent to Voisey's Bay Mine, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Provincial Airlines provides daily scheduled charter service to Voisey's Bay using Dash 8's and Twin Otters. Provincial also has dispatch located on the field which also provides weather, airport and traffic advisory services to aircraft using the airstrip. Canadian Helicopters is also located on site. In August 2011 the airport became certified with an LPV approach onto runway 29 which is now used by both the Dash 8's and Twin Otters. It was updated from a typical RNAV A approach which is also still used.
