U can imagine a Island with some 30-50 people living there or u can imagine a island like u hav seen in the movie 'Cast Away'. But Can u image a island in the middle of pacific ocean, with just 2miles of length and the island just for a Runway of length 2743meters and When Seen from Satellite, might look like a Aircraft Carrier! The Answer is yes.. Its not an aircraft carrier but its an Island and the name is Johnston Atoll. Located at North Pacific oceans about 1400Kms east of Hawaii. It was used by the US military to perform Nuclear test and other marine operations until 2005. The Runway was also used my US Air force for refueling and other secret Special exercises. After 2005 the Island was closed and made a Chemical disposal Area and now is administered under United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The Island and its Airport is closed (with X marks on Runway) and Warning Signboards are put up, Except for some emergency Landings for the Aircrafts Passing over Pacific with direct Authorized permit from US Defense and none such reports hav been recorded yet. It is said that only a few Special Armed personals are at the atoll to gaurd it (None identified) and some say in 2009 Johnston Atoll was proclaimed by President George W. Bush and was made a part of Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. Ah.. wat do u think? Do u want to go see that island?
