Wow. So far. If u landed there on boat, means u travelled through South China Sea, the Philippines & Sulu Sea before ended up in Guam. But if u reached there by plane, then it wasn't too far away from Vietnam/Vietkong.

Was she one of the "boat people"? Does she live in the USA now?

@@junkonakamura3441 The Freedom Flights from Saigon usually flew to Guam at first.

Rich....ditto for me. I left Travis Dec 30, 1961 via turbo prop as well. We first landed at Hawaii for a refueling layover, then went to Wake Island for another fueling stop, then finally to Guam. From when I left Philadelphia until I arrived in Guam it was about a day & a half. I don't remember exactly how long it was from leaving Travis until arriving at Guam, but I'm pretty sure it was close to 24 hours which included the refueling stops (which were really rather short). When I returned to the states in June 1963 I was able to get a "hop" on a KC-135 Air Refueler and we went non stop from Guam to Mountain Home AFB in Boise Idaho in 11 hrs 40 minutes. I would really love to revisit Guam today but the lengthy flight is probably more than I would want to endure. Thanks for sharing. P.S...I REMEMBER APRA HARBOR WELL. I can't get over how the little villages back then were so antiquated yet beautiful. We would get a softball game together once in a while with some of the native guys and we would bring some beer and they would bring some "Tuba Juice"....terrible stuff!!! Much worse than Carolina moonshine

Oh, Earth is not a Globe, okay, thank your.

It's very Americanized, with just little snippets of the original culture. You could easily be fooled that you're in Florida or somewhere else in the continental USA. Big, wide roads, with American cars and trucks, all the typical American chains - Pizza Hut, Burger King, McDonald's, Chevron gas, Kmart, ... It's cool though. I think tourists make up most of the people there (except now during the pandemic). Lots of Japanese, Koreans, Russians, Chinese. That would've been cool to see it in 1969. I hope you have the chance to see Guam again.

The island is 30 mi. Long, 8 and one half mi. Wide in North, 11 and one half wide in S.

Lotta memory comments on here. Left when I was 5. stays with u for sure

I hear that there are not too many birds in Guam because the snakes eat the eggs before they hatch. Watch out for the bities.

I pray for you

@@jamesdreamer5307 Guam isn't a good place for agriculture.

@@jamesdreamer5307 Maybe you can help them out with their agriculture, because they import way too much food.

Beautiful Island But So Far Away.Want To Back & Visit Again.Saipan As Well.

How did that turn out?

Progress always changes the status quo.

Land reclamation isn't a fantasy, sir. It's real.

@@junkonakamura3441 Defination, please!

This is definitely Guam. I've been there a couple of times, and flew around the island myself in a Cessna 172.

Korean Air stinks!

@@DB-vd4nl fuck you

@@DB-vd4nl , Why would you say something like that?
