Now the military base no longer exists and has been mostly dismantled. Only a few things still remind us of it. One of them is, besides the &#8222;Darse&#8220;&#8211;a dock in which we have spent most of the time on Hao with our boat, especially the airport (HOI). The airport was built so that even large transport machines could bring the material for the tests. It is still in operation now for civil aviation purposes. It is unusually large for a small South Pacific island with less than 2000 inhabitants. The runway is 3343m \u00d7 45m and thus similar in size to the runway of an airport like in San Francisco SFO). At the time of the space shuttles it was even listed as a emergency landing site for the space shuttles (but it was never used for that purpose). In the 80s even the supersonic aircraft Concorde made a stop here.
