I wish I could offer a better soundtrack suggestion, but “Canon & Gigue in D Major” is not it. Other than that, it could be an interesting photo essay.
Nice place to visit, but it's hard to reach. Daily flights from Saipan in small aircraft, but rapid changes in weather can strand you on Tinian. There used to be a ferry, but I don't think it's operational today.
Worth the effort, great place even for a Howle. Laid back and easy to get around. Great water and beaches. Fantastic food. The runway from Saipan to Tinian looks like it goes right into the water...cool flight.
The loading pits were filled at some point in the late 40's or early 50's and were excavated and the covers added for the 60th anniversary commemoration of the battles of Saipan and Tinian in June 2004.
When the runways are all restored, as they are doing now, wouldn't it be something to have Fifi the B29 Super Fortress take a trip out there and land on Tinian as so many of her type did 80 odd years ago
Most historic evidence has disappeared. The US navy abandoned Tinian just before I was born, about to be restored again. Perhaps if I were of use in WW3 I might get restored too.
Recognized some scenes. Dad was a photo technician for the 509th and brought home a large photo album.
Many fond memories of Tinian from the late 60's and 70's. Greeting to Alvin and Rudy, RIP Connie.
I am a filipino friend from manila connecting you dear friend fullwatch.
Spent 3 weeks there in 85 and explored all the ruins....amazing history!
It was late in his life when my Seabee dad informed me he had done the surveying for the atomic bomb pits and ramp.

Great this historic island will be restored 👍

Nope, no more ferry.

Yep I was in Saipan in 2008 and tried to get to Tinian but they weren't flying.
My dad was an assistant crew chief on the b29, #83, full house, right next to the Enola gay #82. Never talked about what happened there.
Incredible
What am I, attending a wedding over here? What's with the music?
Sorry, but no matter what music you use, someone ain't gonna like it.
@@gmbhome17 Why not try informative narration of what we are watching. You might not have any idea is a good guess.
I was glad to see they hadn't filled in "The Pit" but put a protective glass cover on it.

This music piece is not by Kevin Macleod it is by Johann Pachelbel.

Mother Nature certainly reclaimed what is hers!!

I guess you are not needed...neither do I. We are too old chaps for that.
Some of the Dirt Boys from my Unit are out there doing rehab on the runway and Electricians too. Engineers Lead the Way All the Way.
Planning a visit soon, curious to see how it looks now.
You know what you can do with the goofy music. What garbage. Taking your best shot at destroying your own video.
