I have seen occasional flights on the Hickam board non-stop to Reagan-National Airport in Washington DC area as well as to various other eastern locations. Today's large jets can, especially when not full of cargo, go surprisingly long distances without re-fueling.   William Dimsdale Member Username: Mebillyd Post Number: 49 Registered: 03-2009 Posted From: 74.196.60.127 Posted on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 - 09:24 am:    There are direct flights although most stop on the West Coast. I flew from Hickam to McGuire on a KC10 that was returning to home base last year. You may find that a stop on the West Coast becomes necessary due to competition for a seat at Hickam. Watch this board for Travis, McCord and Elmendorf as you may also find a route through Elmendorf. A few Elmendorf flights go directly to the East Coast.   Anne Cunniff New member Username: Cunniff15hotmailcom Post Number: 2 Registered: 10-2009 Posted From: 58.178.199.223 Posted on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 - 08:52 am:    I was reading in the Flight Schedule for May a flight from Hickham to Dover. I am reading this correctly or do the flights stop at West Coast? Thanks for your help. I am new at the Space A world and am planning a trip from Australia later in the year.
