MIDWAY’S DOOMED C-117



Who that were at Midway in the 1970’s remembers the C-117? I used to love that
plane but in hindsight it was a doomed aircraft.

It was Midway’s aerial bus and pickup truck, you might say. It was used to haul
personnel and supplies to and from Midway via Honolulu between the regular
visits of the C-141 Air Force Log Flights. It used to make regular flights to
resupply and transfer Coast Guard personnel to and from the even more remote and
much smaller Kure Island, the location of a huge Loran tower.

On one particular day I remember taking off from Midway to head to Honolulu for
Christmas leave with a full plane, passengers and luggage. We got about 20
minutes out from Midway when all of sudden the port side of the aircraft was
smeared with oil and then soon after the engine was shut down.

For those who know this aircraft they will realize that there are only two
engines, and with one not operating, and a full load, we weren’t going to make
it to Honolulu.

The plane took a sharp about face and headed back to the island. My roommate was
the flight engineer and as he walked past me, from the cockpit to the rear of
the aircraft, I could see the look of worry in his eyes. He was preparing for a
water landing. Fortunately we made it back but in conversation afterward with my
roommate it was clear that if we had been much further away from the island we
would have had to ditch the plane.

When the island was phased down in 1978 the aircraft was sent to Guam. Not long
afterward the aircraft was ditched in the ocean and two people were killed. This
article explains a few of the details of that terrible day.

Today this aircraft sits at the bottom of the ocean.

THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY 2018



It was 76 years ago today that the Japanese attacked Midway Island in the
beginning of what will be known as the Battle of Midway, decidedly the most
decisive battle of World War II, turning the tide of the Pacific war. The battle
effectively disabled the ability of the Japanese Navy to attack the west coast.
This allowed the US military to concentrate more resources toward the European
theater.

Please remember history. Please remember those who fought and died to win the
battles that assured victory of the allied forces during World War II today.

These are photos from the 70th Anniversary Memorial Ceremony at Midway Island in
2012.

FIRE IN THE MIDWAY CHOW HALL



Fire in The Midway Chow Hall  – As I was looking through old paper files I came
across this letter. It’s a letter of appreciation and a “Well done” from the
Supply Officer for helping to keep everyone at Midway fed that day, especially
since, as is noted in the letter, the Kornerstone Kafe was closed. Remember the
Kornerstone Kafe? Continue reading “Fire in The Midway Chow Hall”
