Zd077. The breakwater. One of 17 images of the Nimitz Beach Park at the former Naval Air Station Barbers Point. The park is secured and is fenced and all the gates were locked because of the Red China Virus. The cottages still could be rented but a key has to be issued for the gate. The park includes large picknick shades and the beach has a breakwater.

Zd068. View of the airfield along the Coral Sea Road, perhaps this is the National Guard. One of 35 images of my walk on Coral Sea Road, from the Roosevelt Ave. to the entrance of Nimitz Beach on the former Naval Air Station Barbers Point. In these 35 images, I shot a 2 story WWII above ground bunker, unused side streets, three ex Ammo Bunkers, views of the airfield, views of the east scrubby side of the Coral Sea Road and an area called Kalaeloa Heritage. Across the entrance to Nimitz Beach, a large solar panel field was installed this year.

Zd073. Moving west along the Nimitz Beach area, the first pillbox is in sight. One of 12 images of the Nimitz Beach in the former Naval Air Station Barbers Point, from the entrance, moving west, up to the first WWII Beach Defense Pillbox. One or more images are of the new solar panel field across the Coral Sea Road from the beach entrance. The beach is closed because of the Red China Virus but surfing and walking is ok! I saw fishermen, anglers, not sure about their status.

Zd059. Ford Island, I guess, before the war; not the Aiea and Pearl Ridge sugar cane fields. Look at the airplane markings, they got changed after the start of WWII! One of several screenshots of a Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Video, about the restored Ford Island Control Tower, apparently a gift of the U-Haul Company; Thank you, U-Haul!
