There are no commercial taxi services available at Wake Island Airfield. The airfield is located on a restricted U.S. military installation not open to the public. All transportation for authorized personnel is pre-arranged by the U.S. Air Force or associated contractors.
There are no car rental companies on Wake Island. As a closed military base with no public access or tourism, there is no market for rental services. Official personnel use government or contractor-owned vehicles.
There is no public transportation system on Wake Island. The island is a small, remote atoll with a population consisting solely of military and contract personnel, and all ground transport is handled internally by the base.
Flying from Ca. to Clark Air Base, USAF. Stopped here about 11 PM. All passengers, (maybe two dozen) went to the beach and played with sand crabs. A messhall opened and made sandwiches for the whole flight. No memory of where we slept but the plane took off before daybreak. The sky was beautiful that night.
I seem to remember a beached or sunken Japanese ship partially sticking out of the water just off runway 10 when I landed there. It seems like we just stayed long enough to get fuel and then fly on to Japan. I was young lad then so it is hard to remember. Has anyone else seen it?
I was in the Marine Corps and Stopped at Wake for refueling. As out of the way it is, it is one of the most beautiful places i got to visit while stationed on Okinawa. I would love to visit it again one day.
I spent three days there in 1967. It has the most beautiful blue water of shore that I have ever seen. I would like to have stayed under different circumstances.
I would move to wake island right now and never leave!!!
I love the airport,hope to see it in real life someday.
