I also remember when both Alaska and Hawaii joined up. Which were you in?

We lived in the Hawaii territory. Then the new state of Hawaii.

It is one of my earliest memories. Lots of fireworks and celebrations.

One of my earliest memories was the flight to Hawaii in a C-54, seated, facing the tail of the aircraft. Imagine flying to Hawaii in an unpressurized, prop airplane. 190 mph at 10,000 ft and nothing but ocean waves to look at. 2,556 miles, 14 hours of droning of the engine. At one point I asked my mom "did we move here, is this our new home?" It was just forever.

It takes a C-54 14 minutes 36 second to get off the ground and up to 10,000 feet. Not a real performance air frame.
