The approach offers stunning views of the vast Pacific Ocean meeting the delicate chain of islets that form the Kwajalein Atoll, with the lagoon's shallow reefs visible on the left.
The left side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the historic Lelu Island during departure from Kosrae and provides an expansive view of the vast Kwajalein Lagoonโthe largest in the worldโduring the final approach into Bucholz Army Air Field.
While both sides provide breathtaking views of the Pacific's turquoise lagoons, the left side typically offers superior angles of Ailinglaplap Atoll and a dramatic perspective of the southern rim of the Kwajalein Atoll upon approach.
The right side offers superior views of Pohnpei's mountainous interior upon departure and a stunning perspective of the southern islands of the Kwajalein Atoll during the final approach.
