\nA Trip Through Micronesia<\/h4>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\n
<\/span>Saving the best for last – this was my biggest aviation adventure of 2018: the United Island Hopper<\/i>.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\nIn April, I flew through Micronesia
\nwith my good friend Rick Covington on board the world-famous <\/span>Island Hopper<\/i>.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

\nThis United Airlines (formerly Air Micronesia\/<\/span>Continental) flight took us through five exotic locales between
\nHonolulu (HNL) and Guam (GUM):<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Majuro Atoll (MAJ), Republic of Marshall Islands<\/li>\n
  2. Kwajalein Atoll (KWA), Republic of Marshall Islands<\/li>\n
  3. Kosrae (KSA), Federated States of Micronesia<\/li>\n
  4. Pohnpei (PNI), Federated States of Micronesia<\/li>\n
  5. Chuuk (Truk) (TKK), Federated States of Micronesia<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n<\/a><\/div>\n

    \n(Throughout the years, the <\/span>Island
    \nHopper<\/i> also served Midway and Johnston Island.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GKZZQP207SI\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
    \nIn 2018, United Airlines also celebrated their 50th anniversary in
    \nMicronesia.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Predecessor airline Air
    \nMicronesia \u2013 known affectionally by its radio callsign \u201cAir Mike\u201d \u2013 was
    \nfounded in May 1968.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The <\/span>Island Hopper<\/i>\u00a0is still a critical
    \nbackbone for United\u2019s Guam operations.<\/span>\u00a0
    \n<\/span>The airline produced <\/span>    this nice video<\/a> about the <\/span>Island Hopper<\/i>, featuring Capt Katz, one of the pilots on board my
    \nflight!<\/span><\/div>\n

    \nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TPueM5OF1Wc<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    \nFinally, my written trip report was published in print in the
    \nDecember 2018 issue of Airways<\/i> magazine.<\/span>
    \n
    <\/span>
    \n<\/p>\n
    \n<\/a><\/div>\n


    <\/span>
    \nYou can <\/span>    purchase the magazine direct<\/a>\u00a0(unfortunately,
    \nthey no longer sell through newsstands), or<\/span><\/div>\n

    \n
    <\/span>
    \n<\/p>\n
    \n<\/span><\/div>\n


    <\/span><\/div>\n

    \nbetter yet, for instant gratification, get the e-zine via the
    \nAirways<\/i> app from <\/span>    Apple iTunes<\/a> or <\/span>Google Play<\/a> (it\u2019s cheaper too!).<\/span>
    \n
    <\/span>
    \nMany adventures are planned for 2019.<\/span>\u00a0
    \n<\/span>They will be coming fast and furious, so stay tuned!<\/span><\/div>\n
