the fire tenders are out for every incoming flight on these short runways in case they would need to cool the brakes of the aricraft after landing. Usually they also perform a rwy check for FOD before arrival.
excellent. made the same Tripoli from Honolulu to Johnstone Atoll, Majuro, Kwajalein Ponape, Truk, Guam, Saipan, Tokyo. B727 Continental, in Oct 1981....during the could war. From Tokyo later on to Singapore with JAL, from there with UTA via Jakarte, Noumea and Fidji to Tahiti. There to Bora Bora and later to Nuku Hiva, Ua Huka, Atuona. From Papeete via Easter Island and Santigo to Rio, my home.
That's an incredible routing! I would like to fly Papeete to Easter Island as well but sadly, LATAM doesn't offer this extension of their Santiago route at the moment.
Thank for sharing your trips to Micronesia Island, I am from the Marshall Islands. I have not seen the rest of Micronesia Islands since 70s after I graduated from high school in Palau and now I am living in Salem Oregon USA.
I flew to Majuro for one night back in 2007 maybe. At that time that restaurant was really quite good, as for the hotel I stayed somewhere and it was very nice. I was surprised at how many cars drive up and down the single road.
Really a lot of traffic there, yes... It's all rather relaxed, though, and I found the drivers to be quite nice, even stopping to let pedestrians cross.

You could have booked Marshall Islands Hotel. they. are way better.. For Airport Pick Ups you probably paid
I'll consider that next time! Airport Transfer was like US$10 one-way.
It is bad to serve military base by civil aircraft.
The military are being tight arses.
Pretty sure my country made it a part of the deal because it is our land and we will need to transport civilians in and out of that atoll
