I was stationed there in 1963-64. My favorite thing was snorkeling every Saturday and Sunday with my buddies.The water was so clear it was like being in a giant aquarium. So beautiful underwater. My job, military police.

1:02 The whole view is amazing. The sun, sky, clouds, ocean, islands. Gourgeous !

I spent a year on Midway with the Navy back in 1974/75. Beautiful place! I had the opportunity for a 1-week return visit in April of 2001. Quite a change from the Navy days. They say "You can't go back." and it's true!

It's interesting you would notice that. It was such a stunning morning arrival. I couldn't take my eyes off that beautiful horizon and the amazing clouds.

Flying an MD-80 over open ocean with no emergency landing option - now that is scary!

When worked there in 2009/10 We flew in a antiquated Gulfstream built in 1962.......The arrival and departure was during the night so as to minimize the changes of a bird strike with a Albatross,which could ruin your day! Great video,arrival was from the west,the cargo pier and the old water barge were very visible as was spit island.

It's abandoned today!!!!!!! Bring it Back to the Navy!!!!

Its not abandoned and has remained an active airfield. Its part of a system that makes trans-pacific flights possible.

@@MyEarthEcoNut I knew that they used it to rotate people in and out of the wildlife refuge, but I didn't think of it like that. Makes sense that it would be operated to allow emergency landing to happen.

This was 2011. There were lights at this time. This is a link to my first landing at Midway which was done at night because of the birds. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5tilbGWzqjWe2Q.html

Wow, didn’t know those had the range. Question:was this aircraft a DC-9 Super 80 , or if MD80 general designation for all the MD80 types, was this actually an MD-81,82,83,87,88 etc?

@eprn1n2 Жыл бұрын

This is a Japanese MD-81 so it has the standard tanks. We made it direct to Cold Bay once. Range to Midway is not too bad. This was one of a group of 16 MD-81s that came over.
