The cockpit of one of the many SBDs found in this general area. |

We found a couple of these guys on the planes. Right now I'm not exactly sure how the orientation should be. I almost think this plane might have been on its' nose and I should probably rotate this 90 degrees counter clockwise, but it works either way! |
| Here's Linda Fluke (left) and Blain Slatton (right) going from one SBD (foreground) to another (background). These planes are just laying around everywhere and you just hip-hop between them! |

When we anchored at this site we were just south of the little coral knoll that these two planes are resting on. The series of planes seemed to more-or-less start right around this coral knoll on the west and heads out eastward. |
| Here's Blain Slatton (left), Linda Fluke (center) and Hal Parker (right - inverted) checking out one of the many plaes here! |

Another example of what this area looks like with planes just laying around everywhere! |
| Blain, Linda and Hal again. |

More planes... |
| The visibility was great the day we were there. I was heading up for my safety stop and Linda Fluke was between me and the planes that are resting on the bottom of the little coral knoll. |
