737-NG got 180 minutes ETOPS so technically, can return to Anchorage if less than halfway there or continue to Honolulu. However: There is Kodiak AK that can be used, Midway that can be used. Also consider that depending on winds and location at time of engine failure Vancouver or Seattle might be within 3 hours.
@Milepost9473 жыл бұрын
I thought about Kodiak and Midway also. Its seems however that Midway would always be much further away than Honolulu or other Hawaii island airports in the case of an in-flight emergency. Of course it could still be an option if for some reason none of the Hawaii airports were available or the usual flight path was forced westward for some reason. The runway at Midway is certainly long enough.

FYI. Back in the late 19702 and early 1980s, Western Airlines offered a nonstop flight between ANC and HNL. They flew the route using a DC-10 and it was heavy military personnel and cargo between the two states. I think it may have been seasonal service back then. If any WA folks out there remember this service, please give us an update. Western was struggling in the late seventies and moved their main hub from Denver to Salt Lake City but was finding niche routes like ANC and HNL.

Western started ANC-HNL flights in July 1969. From October 1980 to October 1981 the flight operated HNL-ANC-LGW. When I joined Western in 1983 the flight was year round 3 or 4 days a week. Delta continued to fly the route for a short time after the merger with service ending January 1988.

After my first year with the 'natives' I had none of my normal shirts anymore, they were all "Aloha" shirts. I was glad to have them. They have all worn out now. Hawaii is one beautiful state, as are the people. We just had a Hawaiian native win the first Olympic Gold Medal in surfing, in case you did not know. They are a proud people, with reason. You have to read the history, but it won't be easy if you have not already done it. Sorry... it was a sad occurrence. Regardless, Hawaiian people are pretty darn happy, and pretty proud.

Thanks for showing the airport! It’s so cool to see where I work on a KZbin video! I’d love to give you a tour of the tower and tracon if we ever open back up to tours.

Lots of people from Hawaii works in Alaska especially in the fishing industry.

Leave it to Jeb to pack enough business casual shirts for Hawaii in case he has to hold a client meeting from his cabana hammock

Reminds me of my Atlanta-Cape Town direct flight many years ago (plus more recent Sydney-Johannesburg flights) - lots of ocean to cover, in a 747 though...not so sure of doing the same in a twin...

The best view of Denali from the air that I have ever seen.

Love your videos. I agree with Susan. You needed a Hawaiian shirt for this leg.

You gotta fly back up to Alaska again sometime. There’s a lot more flying then you think!
