Where can I find pics/videos of the "Miss USA" USO tour of 1986?
Posted on 11/04/2011 4:02:02 PM PDT by lowbridge
In 1986, the winning contestant of the Miss USA contest (Christy Fichtner) and the 8 Miss USA runner ups went on a USO tour. As I understand it, this tour took them to the Mediterranean. I also understand that they entertained on board the USS Coronado, the USS Enterprise, and the USS Truxtun (among many other places). I'm looking for pics and videos of this specific tour, but I've found only a few when there should be HUNDREDS of photos as well as many hours of video.
For example, this one keeps on popping up as one of the only few pics I can find (probably taken at the very beginning of the tour).
And according to this pic, there is video of the show at the Enterprise:

I'd love to get my hands on this video as well as pics.
Can anybody be of help?

I'm aware of the existence of "Cruise Books", but they're rare as few copies are printed up. As a result, people are asking too high prices for their copies and the Navy has their library filled with them, but in washington dc.

There are online sites for the ships. I’d post a note on those. Generally the crew members who signed up on the sites are noted by the dates they served on board.
Some of the cruise books for the ship I served on, which is not one of the ones you are interested in, were put on CD.

I’ve tried google. Over and over again. I’m not looking for updated recent photos of Christy Fichtner. I’m looking for photos and videos of all the Miss USA contestants while on the USO 1986 tour.

Thats one of the pics that I am talking about: one of the few I can find. I’m trying to find more than just those.

Since no one asked and you didn’t say... WHY are you so interested in this tour?

I can't help but maybe someone on the sonobuoy ping list can?
Click on pic for past Navair pings. Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist. The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation. This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

Because.
Thats why.

Actually because I and other fans of one of the Miss USA ladies (Kelly Parsons) on this tour are looking for those rare pics (and video) of her on this tour.

Why do you believe there should be “hundreds” of pics and videos out there on the ‘net? This happened in ‘86 - long before there were cameras in the internet all over the place.
