N703SW (cn 21764/394) Engine is the rare P&W JT9D-70A (not a GE CF6 as some think!), the most powerful jet engine in the world at the time of its development (53,000 lbs of thrust) and first appeard on 703's sister-ship, N702SW back in May 1976. N702SW was the test-bed aircraft used for certification of these engines. It was developed with the 200F freighter in mind, and is instantly recognizable by it sleek profile and elliptical cowling. |

N381HA (cn 1114) Passing the very famous Mauna Kea volcano and its telescope observatory at the summit. Located on the island of Hawaii (Big Island), this dormant volcano reaches an altitude of almost 14,000 feet making it Hawaii's highest peak and the world's tallest mountain measured from its base at the sea floor. The beautiful ocean, clear blue sky, and colorful winglet of our A332 make a nice contrast with the almost Martian-like landscape; it's hard to believe that this area (along with the peak of neighboring volcano, Mauna Loa) gets snow during the winter! |
