Aircraft carriers on great lakes

Interesting. I had never heard of that.

Those are pretty amazing conversions.

And it's equally amazing there were any planes left intact to fly after all those landing "incidents."
 
Hopefully they'll find some J-3 still intact. A person could hover a few feet over the deck as the Carrier shuttled along at 40+ Knots.
 
someone correct me if I'm wrong...but didn't the Langley do some of it's earliest training missions on the Great Lakes when first commissioned?
 
I believe Geo Bush Snr was trained on one of the converted lakers on Lake Michigan. As well the lakers were converted bulk carriers.
