Hau‘oli Lā Hānau! United Airlines celebrates its 90th birthday today. The airline, which began flying mail out of Boise, ID as Varney Air Lines, has evolved into a global airline. United's first flight to HNL was on 01 May 1947, from SFO, flown by a DC-6 "Mainliner". The airline's then-president William A. "Pat" Patterson was born in Waipahu, thus one of United's Boeing 377 Stratocruisers was named "Mainliner Waipahu".
Currently United serves HNL, OGG, KOA, LIH, and ITO; and has flights from the Continental US, Japan, and the Pacific.
