Andersen answers call for help
Eight commercial aircraft with more than 830 passengers were diverted to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam when a 747 with a collapsed nose gear forced the closure of Won Pat International Airport on Aug. 19.

Airmen and local custom agents and authorities worked together to process passengers on eight airliners.

Airmen directed the passengers from the aircraft through customs and onto airport chartered busses. The buses then took the passengers from Andersen to Won Pat International Airport.
