When did we leave Midway? I was on a plane that landed there in 1973. We also landed at Wake Island. Both of them were nail biters.

Did both of those ,Johnson islands was the worst I ever had pilot almost overshot .had the seat belt marks for almost a week after that landing.It was like landing on an aircraft carrier.

I flew into Midway and Wake also. I was impressed that there were the carcasses of WWII ships beached on Wake and we were at Midway just long enough to refuel. This was 1959-1963.
