PERSONAL NOTE
I rode on N751AL in October 2004 from SNA to HNL, as AAH442. It was a very steep departure out of SNA, as the pilots began throttling up after making the turn from the taxiway leading to Runway 2L. We headed toward the mountains before turning around to head to HNL. On final approach to Runway 8L, the pilots had to make a go-around because the 737 was too high for the approach. The second time was a success. Hard to believe that it was 22 years ago.
