ATA's Last Flight:LAX Los Angeles-HNL Honolulu 4/2/08-Aloha!
BackAloha ATA! & Aloha Aloha! Little did I realize (though i somewhat suspected) that this was going to be "the last" flight for ATA's Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL). Approximately 11 Hours (Hawaii/Central Time) after this landing in HNL, ATA abruptly closed. Towards the end of this video, you will see the foreshadowing of this airline's demise..-you will see the stranded fleet of Aloha Airline's aircraft as well... It's a sad & eerie scene, almost like witnessing innocent beached whales. Both Airlines were great. I usually got on the Aloha birds to get to neighbor islands. I flew ATA constantly since 1998 (most of those years as an Airpass & Flightbank member, and otherwise as a bargain flyer not having to rely on buddy passes or strandy). My only other ATA flight was as a member of the University of Hawaii drumline, when the whole marching band got a chartered bird to the 1992 Holiday Bowl in San Diego where the "Rainbow Warriors" won against Illinois. If I was to be stranded, I'm glad it's at home here in Hawaii. (for half a minute, in this video I also filmed my folk's house where I grew up & am again currently living) = in EWA BEACH !!! (also, in the very beginning is a cool shot of snow/ice flakes accumulated on my window while overhead above the desert of Ewa) This video is the "raw" version. I will upload another version (enhanced) in a little while.
