Ah! Good old French Frigate Shoals. Back in the old days of chasing
Soviet missile launch telemetry boats around the Pacific, FFS was "The"
place to be. Can you say crowded with three (count 'em) Three C130's
packed with "stuff" sitting there at one time just like an aircraft
carrier early morning launch of the dawn patrol.

Cheers,

Dave

PS: Fishing was great....

That shot is as old as the hills...

That one in your proof sheet is reversed.

You musta bin thar' during the "monkey" dayz.

By the mid 1980's, most buildings were prestressed concrete, paved roads
and even a sizable operational terminal building.

It seems we have two places being mentioned here. Diego Garcia and French
Frigate Shoals. I am sure JT's above comments refer to Diego Garcia. I
personally don't remember anything I would call roads on the French Frigate
Shoals airfield which measures only 3,000' by 500'. (See attached Google
Earth file.)

folks had simply stood up from their desks in 1945 and walked away. It
was a historical treasure trove and all got bulldozed into the water,
including the Vargas Calendars, USAAF control tower and an old WW2 radar
system in a box.

Mind, Mind? now where did I put that? Must have been those Military
Intelligence "HemiSynch" and Remote Viewing (GRILL PLATE) experiences.
