 They built the highway set from the Matrix sequel on the grounds of the
 air base. You could see it from the ferry. I took the Alameda/Oakland
 ferry to San Francisco for work every day and got to watch it
 progressing.

 If you look closely at the film, you can see the names of exits on 101
 on the set, and they pass by the same place a couple of times.

 The Hornet is a nice museum ship - I took my son there for his 10th
 birthday. There's a photo on the flight deck of the carrier during
 operation Magic Carpet, bringing marines home after WW II. I think they
 had something like 14,000 cots set up in the hangar deck...
