Flying from Ca. to Clark Air Base, USAF. Stopped here about 11 PM. All passengers, (maybe two dozen) went to the beach and played with sand crabs. A messhall opened and made sandwiches for the whole flight. No memory of where we slept but the plane took off before daybreak. The sky was beautiful that night.

I seem to remember a beached or sunken Japanese ship partially sticking out of the water just off runway 10 when I landed there. It seems like we just stayed long enough to get fuel and then fly on to Japan. I was young lad then so it is hard to remember. Has anyone else seen it?

I was in the Marine Corps and Stopped at Wake for refueling. As out of the way it is, it is one of the most beautiful places i got to visit while stationed on Okinawa. I would love to visit it again one day.

I love wake island
