PARTIALLY ANSWEREDAll but two have been identified. See post #8424

We are looking for the last two nonstops to HNL from airports on islands NOT in the state of Hawaii

"on the Air Mike network" ... the second closest island would be Majuro

"served by a DC-8" ... most likely a long-range DC-8-62 in JAL livery; we've identified Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya ... how about Okinawa?

Majuro is correct!

An interesting consideration on the JAL DC-8 but no - it wasn't JAL.

So - one down and one to go! Here's a hint: The DC-8 served a South Pacific destination.

Dang - I made that hint too easy! Well done, J - Amazingly, Provincetown-Boston Airways (PT) operated 15 flights between MIA and EYW, all but two of them daily with the other two being X6 and X7.
