Pionair Convair 580

This Convair 580 of Pionair arrived on 8/1/09 around 130 and left on 8/3/09. This aircraft has a long and interesting history. It started its life as a 440 but eventually converted to 580 status in 1960. It served General Motors Corporation from 1959-1995 as N5124 then registered as N8124. It was then sold to Cypress Jetprop Charter in 1995 and entered the Canadian registry as C-GTTE. A year later it was sold to Kelowona Flightcraft Aircharter and leased to Air Chathams in New Zealand. It was once again registered as ZK-KSA. It was leased out and flew for King Soloman and Reef Air-Peau Vava'u Airways. In 2006 it was registered as VH-PDV and flew for Pionair.

It is seen here presumably on its way to the mainland U.S. fate unknown. Sorry for the poor quality as it was taken with my phone.

Last JAL 747 Classic flight pictures

Here are some pictures from the last JAL Classic flight.


After the crew prepared the aircraft for the flight, they came out to the gate and posed for pictures as a group and with passengers. (BTW, the banner in the background was made by yours truly using pictures of the 747-100, -200, and -300 taken at HNL. I used many pictures I personally took, but did get a couple of pictures from je89_w and from work).

This is the lei made by the Passenger Service section and draped over JA812J by the Maintenance Engineers, who can be seen at the bottom securing the lei.


This banner was held by the JAL employees as they waved goodbye to the aircraft and passengers.


JAL employees waving goodbye to the aircraft and passengers during pushback.


JA812J slowly making its way past Gate 27 during pushback.


JA812J taxiing out for takeoff.

At the gate, there was live Hawaiian music and hula, photo opportunities with JAL employees, and as mentioned above, with the crew. Each passenger was given a hand-made card with an origami crane inside when they entered the gate area and a postcard during boarding. Many of the children were also stickers of the 747-300. The proclamation by the Governor was read by the state's Tourism Liason, Marsha Weinert.

Air China's B-5436

Air China's newest 737-86N, B-5436 (c/n 36813), is making its way across the Pacific as CCA58, and has completed its first leg from BFI.

Japan Airlines Retires 747-300 Fleet

Japan Airlines flew its last 747-300 revenue flight today as JO73. The 747-300 fleet was assigned to the JALWays arm of JAL, which flies most of the Hawai‘i flights, since the DC-10-40 fleet was retired a few years ago. This signals the end of the "747 Classic" (-100, -200, & -300) with the JAL passenger fleet. The 747-400s will continue serving Hawai‘i, even though JAL is reducing that fleet by 10%, and may see more 777-200s in the future.

JA812J (c/n 23612) was the 747-346 that was selected to fly JO73, according to the folks at JAL, was to be draped with a lei before departure. A proclamation by Hawai‘i Governor Linda Lingle (R), that today be "Japan Airlines Classic Jumbo Jet Day".

Unfortunately, I could not make today's ceremony, but a big mahalo to the folks at Japan Airlines for the information they provided.

Hainan's B-5480

N910SF

A DC-10-10 used by Raytheon USA, N910SF (c/n 46524) has made a stop at HNL. The former American Airlines wide-body was purchased by the US Government, for the Missile Defense Agency, to use in testing missile defense systems. It's also known as the WASP - Widebody Airborne Sensor Platform.

The left side has an opening in the forward fuselage for the test systems.

There was a truck with armed security guards near the DC-10, as well as those flood lights to keep the aircraft secure. I'm surprised that this aircraft did not park at HIK.

N910SF was here a few years ago on test missions, and proceeded to taxi to HIK after landing on Runway 4R.

QantasLink's C-FXAZ

QantasLink-Eastern Australia is taking delivery of their new Dash8-Q402, C-FXAZ (msn 4263). It's making its tech stop at HNL after its flight from CCR.

3-day visit of the Emperor and Empress of Japan

After an official visit to Canada, Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko stopped over in Hawaii on July 14 for a 3 day visit. This meant that the Japanese government's 2 747-400s also visited Hawaii. The aircraft, known as Japanese Air Force One and Japanese Air Force Two, are registered 20-1101 and 20-1102.

The first aircraft (20-1102), flying as JAG001, landed at HNL with the royal couple around 14:45 and taxied over to Hickam. The second aircraft (20-1101) came in as JAG002 and landed around 15:17. The picture above is of JAG002 taxiing to Hickam.

Have A Fun Trip, je89_w

Today, one of our fellow HNL spotters, je89_w, left on JO73. This will most likely be his last trip on a JAL 747 classic since JAL will retire the 747 classic at the end of the month. This is a picture of today's JO73 departure with je89_w on it.

The last JAL 747 classic flight will be on July 30th. The last flight will be JO73. Each passenger will be given a small gift to commerate this event.

Not sure of which aircraft they will use, but it will be either JA812J or JA8166. I'm partial to wanting JA8166 because of the significance of the aircraft. JA8166 was the 50th 747 delivered to JAL. It would be fitting for the last JAL 747 classic flight from the 50th U.S. state celebrating it's 50th anniversay of becoming a state to be on the JAL's 50th 747.

AA's Flagship Freedom

This isn't the first time this aircraft has visited HNL, but it is nice to see an airline's special livery. N690AA has a yellow ribbon on the tail and named 'Flagship Freedom' to show support to all the men and women serving in the military.

N690AA came in from SFO as AA39 and departed for LAX as AA162.

N673BF

A privately-owned 767-238ER, N673BF (c/n 23402), is at HNL, that arrived from SFO yesterday.

N673BF began as a Qantas airliner, registered as VH-EAN, and delivered in May 1986. VH-EAN was withdrawn from its service with Qantas in June 2004. It was taken up by WLD, re-registered as N773WD, and stored at MHV (Mojave, CA). In November 2006, the Wilmington Trust Company acquired ownership of the 762, and re-registered it as N673BF. It is unknown who uses the jet, but has been speculated that it's leased by Google.


On its way to MHV, VH-EAN made a stop at HNL from its flight from SYD in July 2004 (five years ago!?!). I got this shot as VH-EAN rested on the north ramp hardstands. Note the kangaroo tail logo was painted over but retained the Qantas titles.

Air Tahiti Nui's THT706

The return flight to PPT, THT705, departed at 1852HST.

Time For A Real Old "HNL Rare Birds Blast From The Past"

Along with the China Clipper and the Hawaii Clipper, the Philippine Clipper (NC14715) shown here at her base in Pearl Harbor is prepped for her flight to Midway, Wake Island, Guam and Manila.

A former JetConnect/Qantas 737-376, ZK-JNB (c/n 23491), is being ferried to TUS from CHC (Christchurch, New Zealand), via APW (Apia, Western Samoa), HNL and MZJ. Sadly, the fate for ZK-JNB is the scrappers torch and cutters.

23491 began service with Australian Airlines as VH-TAZ. It was acquired by Qantas for their JetConnect (New Zealand subsidiary) following the closing of Australian Airlines and re-registered as ZK-JNB.

A big mahalo to team member "Bargeld01" for the heads-up!

AF447 Missing

The A330-203, F-GZCP (msn 660), was flying from GIG (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) to CDG (Paris, France) when it apparently flew into turbulence and a high-altitude thunderstorm, then disappeared off of Brazilian radars.

It's been a while since we have had an "HNL Blast From The Past"

Aloha Airlines took delivery of its first BAC-111 on April 16, 1966. Flying from London, the aircraft set two world records enroute to Honolulu. The BAC-111's served Aloha until the summer of 1969 when they were withdrawn in favor of the new Boeing 737 "Funbirds".

Military Movement

Whether it corresponds with North Korea's sabre-rattling or not is up for debate but Hickam has been a very busy place recently. A number of KC-135R tankers have arrived and departed from numerous bases on the mainland and 6 F-22 Raptors from Langley AFB, VA (tail code FF) were accompanied by another half dozen yesterday afternoon. 5 of the first 6 departed today around noon, with one left behind likely due to maintenance. 

The sight of a pair of C-2 Grayhounds coming and going over the past few days meant that a carrier was near. Yesterday, the 28th did indeed see an aircraft carrier steam into Pearl Harbor late in the morning with a deck full of F-18 E/F Super Hornets.

Also of note was a US Marine Corps C-130 that departed yesterday and returned not long after on the LDA approach, landing on runway 26 right with the #1 propeller feathered and crash-rescue trucks following them back to Hickam as a precaution. 

Sorry, no photos due to the poor weather conditions.

Aloha Air Cargo in Love's Bakery Livery

Earlier this week, N834AL, painted all white, was parked in the Aloha Air Cargo hangar. It was a little suspicious as the registration was in red instead of the normal dark blue. Here is a picture of what it looked like yesterday, May 27.


Well, the reason for this is that Aloha Air Cargo has applied a special livery to the starboard side of N834AL. In a ceremony earlier in the day, Aloha Air Cargo and Love's Bakery unveiled the livery to the public. Here's a picture of the livery taken after the aircraft was moved back into the hangar after the ceremony.


The Love's Bakery livery is only on the starboard side of the aircraft. The tail is painted red with the Love's name on its typical yellow background. The words "Hawaii's Fresh Express" are on the rear part of the fuselage with the iconic red and white checkerboard Love's logo on the front part. The engine is also painted red, with "Aloha Air Cargo" in white. The port side is painted in the new Aloha Air Cargo livery.

Plan To License Aloha Airlines Brand Denied
