    Me and my girlfriend found out about this island from Geoguessr lol, it randomly placed us here and we were so confused why the hell there were so many birds and an abandoned-looking airport XD then we researched about it and found some cool stuff!

    Fun fact about Midway atoll: That atoll is actually an airfield. Back in 1942, there is a big war between US and Japan Empire

    Fun Fact: During WW2 Midway Was a Runaway for American Bombers That was Bombed by Japanese When They Saw The Midway, But Was Rebuilt But Turned To a Normal Airport.

    Found this island (three islands actually) on MSFS. They have TWO airports even though the other one is just some off road landing strips.
