Other OGG pilots were also saying they hadn't seen Air Canada here before.
Anyone have any idea what he was doing here? Strange flight number: 7052. A charter, maybe?
I've flown as pilot to Maui several times within the last ten years.My most memorable layover was watching Tiger Woods and Mike Weir at the Mercedes championship at Kapalua. Daily flight in the winter. We also fly to Kona and of course Honolulu.
