I guess this beach might be as good as Maho Beach in St. Maarten.

A visitor from United States posted Mon May 30, 2011:
It's hard to believe this runway is 12,000 ft long!
Superb photo of the place; been hearing about it for years now, but it's the first time I've ever seen a photo of it. Thanks for posting it.

Would be interesting to see by myself

Crusing thru the photos and I say to myself, "That looks like Dodge City Airport!" Sure enough, Diego Garcia as I used to see it thru the cockpit of an EP-3E. Flew out of there multiple detachments in the early '80s. Thanks for the memory....

Great...prepare for landing!

One of the best beaches in the world. Nice photo, and beautiful approach.

A visitor from United States posted Tue May 13, 2008:
Beautiful island, also very "infamouse", it's supposedly one of the refueling airport for the secret CIA rendition flights.

A visitor from Algeria posted Sun November 4, 2007:
Simply perfect i can see myself out there after a nice landing, a smooth landings a nice kiss landing, who cares for the tyres, the company will just others.

Great Photo! This is of course the best baech for spotters and aviationfans

A visitor from Japan posted Fri May 25, 2007:
Oh yes, a typical day in Diego Garcia. DGAR (as we called it) is a great place to live... at least for a year. Lots of experiences with the P-3s there. The fit is not tight at all. The runway is over 12,000 ft long. That being said, if you do overshoot or undershoot the runway, you will get wet! Outstanding photo!

A visitor from United States posted Sun April 22, 2007:
This is truly a great shit! WOW!

"great shot!"

A visitor from Germany posted Fri August 4, 2006:
Great panorama of an island which is a bit mysterious like Area 51... I really would like to visit this place... its so beautiful.

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 11, 2006:
After years of playing the computer game "Harpoon" and always wondering why I never heard about Diego Garcia, I finally saw this pic! There is definitely a big US presence here. Thanks for the unique view!
