In September 1988 no less than fourteen NAMC YS-11's were stored at Honolulu. They were all owned by Mid Pacific Air, although only eleven actually carried their titles. This N103MP, named "Melanie Valencia", was one of them. This aircraft was sold to Mexico as XA-RQU in 1989, and withdrawn from use two years later. It ended up in storage at Durango, and had almost certainly been scrapped by 2010.

How it all began - in DHL's infancy, they specialised in carrying documents from the Hawaiian islands. Aircraft became N102DH in 9.83 and ended up derelict at Manila with Asean Air. It was still there as of late 2010 but eventually scrapped

First flying in 1937, there were 32 main variants of the Beechcraft model 18; it is the most modified US-certified aircraft design ever with over 200 FAA-approved Supplemental Type Certificates. This was one of many tricycle undercarriage developments. Established in 1971, Panorama Air Tour offered sightseeing services around the Hawaiian Islands, mainly covering Oahu, Kauai, Lanai and Molokai

Beginning life as an R4D-7 with the USN in 3.45, this aircraft was acquired by the CAA (later FAA) in 1957 and registered N36 in 1963. Later being used by the DoA and DoT. Derelict by the time of this shot, she was sold to Genavco in 1994 and cancelled from the register in 2000, possibly being blown up for the filming of "Pearl Harbor"

One of the fourteen YS-11's in storage at Honolulu in 1988 was N109MP, pictured here against a typical Hawaiian backdrop of green hills and mountains and towering clouds. This aircraft was purchased in 1983 and withdrawn from service in July 1988. It was broken up during 1992-1993.
