– FS2004 Scenery For Wake Atoll

FS2004 Scenery For Wake Atoll. Photo scenery and AI package for Wake Island (PWAK) in the Pacific. Seemingly drifting in a strategic yet isolated position, Wake Island-an atoll really-was one of the loneliest outposts of the United States. Originally a gas station for Pan Am’s ‘Clipper’ flying boats, Wake was also a strategic air base during the Second World War. This continued with the Cold War as Wake became a centerpiece of the Pacific Radar Net against the Soviets. With the thawing of Eastern Europe and the advent of more efficient jet aircraft Wake slowly drifted back to the quiet backwater it is again today, home to a handful of civilian caretakers and local wildlife. This scenery attempts to recapture Wake in the early 1980’s when it still performed a semi-regular duty as gas station and pit stop. By John Stinstrom. 5,2 Mb
