There is a headline I expect to read any day now that new information may be coming to light that indicates an intentional effort to switch off the various communication devices aboard the Beijing bound 777 aircraft. For the very first time, I have seen the word “Piracy” associated with this particular flight. As you…
Malaysia Airlines Still Missing and No Oil Link
So now what? Just like the Pan Am Clipper, Oil was found and it too had no connection to the missing flying boat. Bohr aircraft seem to vanish leaving behind no debris or trace. The pilots did not indicate any problem to the tower, and no distress signal was issued, as happened to the Hawaii…

The Trust Territory SA-16 that served Chuuk Lagoon
Today I bring you one of the photos I recently unearthed that is certainly a blast front the past. Pictured is a Grumman SA-16 Albatross (tail #N9942F) used by the US Department of the Interior on the parking ramp of what is today’s Chuuk International Airport. For those of you who don’t know, the airport…
Getting ready for round III
Here is a very short montage of video I took on my last visit to Micronesia. As you can see, this effort had a lot of moving parts and many people making those parts work as smooth as possible. I could not take on an effort of this magnitude all by myself so my dear…

If you are in the grips of cold weather, here is a photo of Tumon Guam to warm ya up a bit? 🙂 Enjoy!
Back to Filming
This cold week in DC has made me really miss the warm waters of Micronesia. The good thing is that the days are getting longer as Spring approaches and soon, I hope, to be in those waters and the islands that seemingly float among them. Lately it really does feel like I take one step…
February Already?
Wow! Where did January go? I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking that but at the same time I am looking forward to February and March. I had originally planned to return to Truk Lagoon (Chuuk) this month for the anniversary of Operation Hailstone but unfortunately the efforts of my fellow researchers currently on…
Day Two in the Archives
So today I completed an effort to go back over my tracks to see if I had left anything under all the stones I have looked under. It seems that I was pretty thorough in my first two approaches however I now had the chance to look under the smaller stones that were still on…
Still On The Hunt
For over a month I have been going back to PAA archives and the archives of others just for small details I might have missed and today found a doooosey. The famed “Hospital Foundation” lost to a remote jungle just became real because I have found the roll of film it was originally a part…
