Country:  | Hello All,
It's likely that the metal for the repair was from an abandoned NA plane. The rest could be anything. Most large parts like horizontals have a data plate near the root. If the root is still there. |

Ok, I'm bored and it will not stop raining. Its been raining for over 24 hours now!
So, not to rub it in or anything but...meaning I know some of you are in cold places, enjoy the pic below and may it warm your senses in that winter land you live in.
Actually I miss the cold weather and love snow! Sorry this is off-topic. | |

Country: | Yeah nice shot. Understand it can get a bit boring after a while (one more day in paradise). It's 42F and 2Pm. Going down to the high 20s tonight. That pic looks very....warm. | |

That pic looks very....warm. | You are right; it can get very boring out here after a while. I'm tired of the isolationism. I've got five months left and I'm forcing myself to stay these five. I love the place but, there just isn't too much to do after a few years. Not only that but, I'm not learning anything new.
If I could I'd trade weather conditions with you believe it or not.
Thanks!
And thanks to everyone who has responded too!
It is still raining...Friday isn't going to happen as far as the wing. I'm going to get out there Saturday and try it. I've got a friend I work with who has said he would help dig up the wing too. He brought up the idea of trying to pull it out with a chain attached to our vehicle. I'm thinking this will only tear it apart though.
I'll let you guys know though! | |

Hey guys, sorry but I just haven't been out to the wing yet. I got sick for a few days; then we actually got a bit busy for a few more days and now the tide isn't matching up with the times I have available to visit the wing.
I've got Saturday and Sunday off. I will go out there Saturday forsure.
Sorry!  | |

| yes, thats a great shot.
Any chance for you to go out on the reef and take some pictures of the isalnd? I wonder what the invading troops saw as they approached the island.

Country: | What the Marines saw?
You know that's a hard one. I mean, Roi was bombed real hard before the initial invasion. Not only that but, the island it self has changed a lot in over 60 years.
This first picture is one of the islands the Marines had to secure. I believe it's the last one listed on the last pic; east reef. I will take a picture as I'm heading to Roi from another island just as soon as my camera arrives...any day now...I hope  | |
