[edit] picture?

Should we include a pictur of the wiki wiki bus? One has already been uploaded to wikipedia here:

And is in use on only one article. Considering the fact that the link between "wiki" and the "wiki-wiki bus" isn't as strong as the link between the wiki-wiki bus and the Honolulu International Airport, I say we put the picture here. The only problem is that i dont know where to put it in the article where it is both relevant and does not majorly affect the overall layout, so I leave it up to someone else more knowledgeable of the airport than I am to do it so that I dont mess up the article. --JoeBlowfromKokomo 01:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

If we're going to have a picture of a Wiki Wiki bus, my preference would be to have one of a bus itself rather than a sign. I'm not in HNL at the moment so I can't go take one and add it... -- Hawaiian717 15:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki-wiki bus

In 1983 and 1984, I passed through Honolulu a few times, on the way to a work assignment on the island of Kauai. I remember the inter-terminal buses, older vehicles whose sign board read "Wiki-wiki," or "(goes) quickly."

[edit] Pan Am accident?

The "Aviation Safety" database does not mention an accident of a Pan Am 747 on the date mentioned. It does, however, report a sabotage incident from earlier in 1982, when a Pan Am 747 inbound from Narita, Japan, landed safely after a bomb under a seat killed that passenger, punched a hole in the floor (not the hull), and damaged the overhead.

I removed the Pan Am 747 disaster as I was also unable to verify it. If anyone wants to put that back in, please include a flight number. I will see if I can find info on the sabatoge that you have mentioned when I have a chance. Thomasdelbert 15:24, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I just created a stub about the bombing. I verified several sources, and the flight number was Pan Am Flight 830. -- AirOdyssey (Talk) 04:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HNL seaplane runways?

The FAA diagram for HNL shows 2 offshore "runways" for seaplanes in addition to the four terrestrial ones - 4W/22W, 3000' long and 150' wide, and 8W/26W, 5000' long and 300' wide. (These are, of course, parallel to the main runways.) Are these still in use, and if so, should the article note them?

• Seaplanes are seen around Oahu from time to time. As the FAA diagram still shows them, I feel they should be in the article, so I added a mention of them. -- Hawaiian717 23:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, they're legit runways -Nweinthal

[edit] go!

204.210.121.34 added go! to the list of airlines in the Interisland Terminal, which I've removed. They haven't signed a lease yet, and their website states their location as the Commuter Terminal, however the HNL map on their site shows them in Hawaiian's gate area in the Interisland Terminal [1]. Until we get something definite, I think we should leave them out. -- Hawaiian717 18:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Per [2], I've added go! to the Commuter Terminal -- Hawaiian717 16:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Passenger Trafic

How many passengers does it handle?

[edit] Accidents section

I condensed the section about the incidents and accidents at HNL. On most airport articles, this is a very compact page, shortly describing the article, and pointing to a main link to provide more details. I also added Pan Am Flight 830, as mentioned above. -- AirOdyssey (Talk) 04:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
