Sea Land Air

Dave and I, along with friends Terri, Ken, and Noah visited the Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce a few days ago. This was such an eye opening and informative museum and rated right up there with the Intrepid Museum in New York City. It was very diverse and showed all the aspects of Navy SEALs and all the missions that they have had to participate in. Inside was amazing and outside was too, but it was also fun because you could go on some of the boats, plus there was an obstacle course. What made a big impression on us was the actual lifeboat from the Mersk Alabama that Captain Phillips was rescued from, complete with shot out windows.

Inside they also had a Blackhawk helicopter that you could sit in...


Looks like transiting on land could be fun though...


The guys suited up 😉.

Outside they had the Apollo capsules that the SEALs helped recover.

A Submersible...

There were also quite a few exotic boats that have been used over the years.


Our favorite was the water jet driven Mark 5 (Mk V) Special Operations Craft that could actually fit in a C-5 aircraft.




Then it was on to the obstacle course where Dave and Noah tried doing a few of the easier ones.

Not this one though!

Thank you to the Navy SEALs and all our Armed Forces out there...we salute you!
