I flew across the Pacific...I don't fly anymore. I flew across the Pacific 5 times in a Constellation with propellers and they don't go far on a tank of gas so we always had to stop either at Midway Island or at Wake Island and the Navy who runs the kitchens there don't always know how to fix a meal that is up to government specs. If we were able to take off without running into two more more flocks of Gooney Birds, we usually ended up in Honolulu, Hawaii before it was even considered a state. From there is was a civilian airline that cross the waters and the Golden Gate Bridge.
