Well I'll take a stab at this one...

3) Back before the advent of long range jetliners (such as the B747-400 followed by the B777-200LR, B777-300ER and the A340-500), a number of non-U.S. airlines flew between HNL and LAX/SFO as part of their international journeys. HNL was essentially a technical stop for refueling. Although these airlines were not permitted to carry local domestic traffic on the LAX-HNL and SFO-HNL legs, they were permitted to carry stopover traffic. Name as many non-U.S. airlines as you can that flew these routes and the aircraft they operated.[/QUOTE]

QANTAS SFO-HNL 707-320 ~ 747-200
BOAC LAX-HNL VC-10
Air New Zealand LAX-HNL DC-8 ~ DC-10 ~ 747-200
Garuda LAX-HNL DC-10 ~ 747-200 (?)
Singapore SFO-HNL DC-10 ~ 747-200
Philippine Airlines SFO-HNL DC-8 ~ DC-8-61/3 ~ DC-10 ~ 747-200
Japan Air Lines LAX/SFO - HNL DC-8 ~ DC-8-61 ~ 747-100/200
Korean Air Lines LAX-HNL 747-200
China Air Lines LAX-HNL 747-200

I'm thinking UTA may have done this also at one time, but I'm not sure...
