OMG! The next thing you know is they will require a license to drive a car or maybe even an airplane! The horror! Both sides, take your arguments elsewhere. This kind of discourse ruins Flight Aware.

Great diving for my crew, but I was not certified so snorkel for me. Even then great. Didn't know about Moen. Looking at Google views, sure is different -oh well, forty years+, I'm different too - can't believe Iwo Jima and Guadacanal. ;san

When I was on Truck in 78, the Island had gone dry. There had been a lot of Machete fights after watching Kung Fu movies and the wives voted out the sale of alcohol. The flight to Guam was sold out and as soon as we were off the ground the beverage service was non-stop. Imagine the return trip was the same way. In 78 they were called definitely SeaBees. Our only source of beer while we were there. Bless 'em! They were a tough bunch; trying to build road with worn out surplus equipment from Vietnam.

Hi Jim: Flew on Continental (Air Mic) hopper to Ponape 11/15/78. Pilot did a low pass to make sure nobody had left anything - pick up, canoe etc- on the runway. Three in the cockpit plus mechanic. Compressor failures were really loud if you were in the last row window seat on a 727. Followed by a total anxious silence on the part of passengers. .

Were 727s used on coral strips on the island hopper route from Hawaii to Guam?
