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

Beautiful island, also very "infamouse", it's supposedly one of the refueling airport for the secret CIA rendition flights.

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 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!
