The first aircraft flown by Hawaiian, the Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker, will be making a return to the skies above Honolulu. The aircraft was found in Oregon and is being restored in Washington. The aircraft is scheduled to be brought to Honolulu in September.
Although the official Hawaiian Airlines anniversary date is November 11, Hawaiian actually started flying in October of 1929. It was then that Inter-Island Airways started aerial sightseeing tours of Oahu using a Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker.
