I flew into Midway and Wake also. I was impressed that there were the carcasses of WWII ships beached on Wake and we were at Midway just long enough to refuel. This was 1959-1963.
Mine was back in 93 and 94 . Had my fill of being on a pacific island .If ya know what i mean.http://www.nytimes.com/1993/08/22/world/in-marshall-islands-friday-is-followed-by-sunday.html
