I have no idea why I thought of this tonight, but…
When I was out in the Marshall Islands I spent the last six months working on Meck, an island north of Kwajalein itself. I used to commute every morning on a DeHavilland Caribou. No traffic snarls to speak of, but that runway was pretty short. On the other hand, a guaranteed 2.5 hours of time-and-a-half OT pay five days a week made up for a lot.
