Glad everyone likes the pics! Just don't let me catch you making money off them:evil: :evil: :evil: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Anyway, here are a few more pics. The first is the front side of the Japanese HQ building. And the Japanese did build this thing; it wasn't left over from the...
I do when I'm around the B/S pollitcal American mainstream. I don't when I'm out with the local nationals off this "base". I'm out of here more than likely in a few months.:cry:
The thing is, though, I can always come back:D No matter where I go, who I work for or how long I'm gone, all...
The kids out here like to mimic what they see on American movies:D
I had a request for pictures of some of the other smaller islands. This first one is very small! In fact, if the tides become any higher this island will not be anymore! I global warming is a debated issue in today's world...
You know I despise spammers as the spawn of satan:evil: But, I got a good laugh at this spammers comment and your return comments!:lol:
Wish I could buy one of these stolen game things only to kick the spammer in the balls and break his nose with my knee!
Thanks for a good laugh!:lol...
You know it almost sounds as if you do not understand the "coke bottles". They do not literally "litter" this place. Over sixty years in one place has covered them with dirt, coral and jungle. They expose themselves every now and then; perhaps I should have described it a bit better...
This is what one may look like if you want one. Understand that the green color glass is more rare. The white glass is more common.
This one is mine! I took it from the bottom of the sea bed in about 20 feet of water. I didn't clean it because I think items are more interesting with the...
Thanks for the interest and comments on the pics all! No, I do not think the wing is attached to anything.
Here is a picture of just one of the Japanese fortifications on Roi. There are about 10 bunkers still standing. It's really cool because if you get close you can still see 50.cal...
:) Finally my new camera has arrived!:D
Here is one of the first pics taken today by my new camera! I'll have more of the wing shortly! The wing isn't too far from this shot!
I'll try to get more pics up here in a few days.!
The below pic is of one of the few outer-islands that are actually inhabited by people. The coral is such that we have to anchor our boat a few hundred yards out and walk to shore. I'm not sure of this island's name. I'll check on it...
Yes, the flight is free for everyone. The only thing is, you will have to be escorted by the police to the outprocessing station. Local Nationals fly free every day...it's their only means of transportation most of the time.
If you hold an American ID card, even easier! If you are German it...
On this plane!
It's like a ferry of sorts and it's free because the U.S. Army fits the bill! In fact, in this picture, the plane is comming from Kwaj. Only a 15 min flight.
There really are no bad storms out here. Seriously! I've been here three years and only once did a somewhat strong storm hit. We were a bit worried about that storm that hit Wake a few months ago though. Actually I beleive a big storm would do some good in getting this thing out of the sand...
Sorry but all that is known about this wing is within this thread. Hopefully soon something will happen to finally give some answers.
:x My camera still hasn't arrived!:x I was in the area of the wing today about mid tide and took the below pics with the evidence camera. I really dislike...
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...
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...
