just out of curiosity, where does the name Kīkaha come from?
When Omni got the B762s from Continental, they were assigned to the Vacations Hawai‘i LAS charter flights. 207 got the name "Kiani" and 225 got the name "Kīkaha". As far as we know, the names are still on those B762s. N234AX, the 3rd B762, never received a name.
