The addition of the A321 to Hawaiian's fleet has made possible a number of new services from the US mainland to Hawaii's neighbor islands, but in some cases it has also resulted in capacity being reduced from a 767 or A330 to a single-aisle aircraft. Here Kukui is seen arriving in SJC from OGG. This flight comes in shortly before sunset and can only be photographed in decent light in the summer months. The aircraft is named for the candlenut tree, the official state tree of Hawaii.

It is said that 90,000 people turned out for the XC-99's first flight. This transport derivative of the B-36 bomber never made much sense, and the wheel pressure caused by the original undercarriage even ensured there were very few places it could fly to! Its last flight was on 19 March 1957, following which it was preserved at Kelly AFB in San Antonio, TX. It was acquired by the USAF Museum in 1993, but it took 15 years before the aircraft was actually moved to their main facility in Dayton, OH, in early 2008. In 2012 the disassembled XC-99 was moved again, this time to Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona for storage. It is said that restoration could take more than 30 years.
