Visit Aloha Airlines

It was an Aloha Friday, back in the days when that meant something special in the Islands. As the morning sun warmed the air hanging limply over nearby Ke‘ehi Lagoon, the freshly painted DC-3 taxied to the end of Runway 4-Right at John Rodgers Field.

Despite being the end of the workweek in Honolulu, it was a quiet day at the city’s airport, a complex of concrete runways and cavernous Quonset huts built by the Navy during World War II. The buildings squatting along Lagoon Drive were still painted battleship gray. The war in the Pacific had been over less than a year and the many military installations in Hawai‘i remained, despite the departure of most of the troops.

Some of the discharged Pacific war veterans stayed on. On this Friday morning, two of them, ex-Navy pilots Al Olson and Louis Lucas, sat in the cockpit of the DC-3 idling at the end of the Rodgers Field runway. At a signal from the control tower, the plane turned into the wind and gunned its twin Pratt & Whitney engines. The throaty roar scattered the snowy-white terns and boobies foraging by the runway and echoed across Ke‘ehi Lagoon toward Diamond Head, which that morning loomed large and clear on the horizon. Nearer by, Aloha Tower plainly marked the site of Honolulu Harbor. It was still the tallest building in the Islands. The date was July 26, 1946. The occasion was the first revenue-paying flight of a brand-new airline called, with a flourish of confidence typical of the times, Trans-Pacific Airways.
