Route: from San Diego (California) Los Angeles (California), 120 miles (190 km).
In the seventeenth day of our trip, we returned to Los Angeles. But before leaving for the capital of California, we visited the Midway museum ship! The Midway was one of the the most important ships aircraft carriers after the war on, and having now ceased its service was held in permanent museum in the Bay of San Diego. Visit was a great emotion because it is rare to see a live carrier (Italy possesses only and is not remotely like this) even more so visit it! In addition to a guided tour inside the ship we got on the flight deck where they are now on display the most glorious military aircraft in history! Among the many F-14 Tomcat protagonists of the historic movie Top Gun! In the afternoon we then spread to Los Angeles where we had dinner in an Italian pizzeria on Hollywood Boulevard or take a walk on the sidewalks the famous "Walk of Stars" where on earth are the names of the characters of the show of all time in addition to the footprints and signatures of the same! Here are the photos! ...
- Here is the view from the mainland carrier! ...
- The legendary fighter-bomber, the star of Top Gun: The F-14 Tomcat 
- The catapult! Pressure system that allows planes to take off in so little space! (You can see the row in front of the wheel which is substantially the lane on which runs the hook (white) that pulls the front wheel of the aircraft). 
- The cable that engages the plane on landing in order to stop in time!
- Un'overview the midway! 
- And finally, a tile walk of the stars!
