Guam Approach

Approach to Andersen AFB, Guam in an Ohio ANG KC-135R. Coming in from the north end of the island, with a spectacular view. This is from the same flight as the Honolulu video.

The pilot pointed it out to me from over 20 miles out... this tiny speck of grey in the big blue Pacific. I was blown away. Good stuff!

Sadly I do not believe that a trip aboard a military aircraft is possible there but I do know that there is quite a lot of commercial traffic in and out of the island. Most of the memorials are in public areas and are very breathtaking and sobering. Good luck in your aspirations for a visit!

I have taken that flight many times.. We always circled the Island. Such a nice time flying there/.

I was fortunate enough on my 2nd trip to have the pilots go all the way around the coast. It was like something out of a dream :)

My father landed their july 21st. 1944 he was a radioman with the 9th regiment 3rd marine division. His best friend Leo Kwick died in his arms when their L/C was hit. My dad carried that with him all his life. He told me about what the japs did to the civilians, but i wont repeat it here.

I hope to visit guam someday and tour the WW2 sites. Is it at all possible for a civilain to catch a ride to guam aboard a miltary aircraft?
