Today, we honor those who served in Operation Frequent Wind on April 29, 1975, and proudly share this story of heroism, courage, and sacrifice.
Considered by many to be the 30 most dangerous hours on board the aircraft carrier USS Midway, Operation Frequent Wind was one of the largest rescue missions in US history. As the communist-led North Vietnamese Army invaded Saigon, the US Navy was called in to rescue thousands of South Vietnamese citizens trapped in the capital city. Operation Frequent Wind brought an end to the Vietnam War, providing the punctuation to a conflict that ultimately cost the lives of over 57,000 U.S. service members.
Join us next year for a special ceremony commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Operation Frequent Wind, and visit our permanent exhibit on the Hangar Deck.

Happy Bday Top Gun! ✈️🇺🇸✨On March 3, 1969, the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to insure that the handful of men who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world. Today, the Navy calls it Fighter Weapons School. The flyers call it: TOP GUN. ✨ COMING SOON: Midway’s Top Gun Maverick Movie Night 2024 ticket sale date announcement! ✨
The USS Midway Museum will be closed today, Christmas Day, Monday, Dec 25. We will resume our regular hours the following day, on Tuesday, December 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
