Love the old WW2 Stuff! Have you ever seen the movie The Thin Red Line? Reminds me of some scenes from that :)

Man there is 2 FU4s underwater you can snorkel around, have not had the time yet to go. to the North there is a place called million dollar point, where they ditched whatever was left after WWII in the sea, planes, jeeps, guns,....I saw a Dakota crashed in the jungle too.

Not my pic

Maybe it is because there is such a contrast between where you are and my location that makes me extremely jealous of your location.

Great pictures!!
 
Alex, as someone who loves studying the Pacific Theater of WWII...I cannot begin to tell you how jealous I am!

Keep putting pictures up, I'm planning a trip later this year on Continental (now United)'s flight that goes to Ponhnpei, Kosrae and Chuuk (or Truk as it will always be to me).
 
Maybe it's a question that's been answered already, but what are you flying?
 
Those are some really awesome shots! Makes me wish I was back in the islands again. Thank you for sharing the magnificent photos!
