Terry, if it will help, I'll run up to your shop and take pictures of me sitting in the CruZer making some airplane noises.
You're welcome to monitor our build on Facebook, but that might just be adding salt to the wound.
Sadly, I don't think it's still around. According to THIS WEBSITE,"There was a private flying club from about 1960 through the mid 1980s. They owned two aircraft, tied down outdoors off the Bucholtz airstrip. Because they used avgas they were forced to dissolve when the Army switched over to turbine-powered aircraft and no longer stocked avgas."
Looking at a 2010-2011 "Welcome to Kwajalein" brochure, there's no mention of the flying club among the list of recreational activities.
Hey buddy,
Have you had an opportunity to go to the other islands? I thought Roi was nice. Does the army still run an air taxi service? Snorkel, scuba, fishing, and dodge trident missiles.
Hi Dr. Terry,
The photo brings back memories. I did two eighteen month tours on Kwaj (actually Ennylabegan, a.k.a. Carlos) in the late sixties and early seventies as a telemetry maintenance and operations tech in support of the Safeguard ABM program. We had a flying club with a Cessna 150 and a Beech Musketeer at the time, and a fleet of Cal 20 sailboats we could check out for sailing around the atoll.
