Here's a little bit of Hawaiian math: if you flew at exactly 500 MPH nonstop from New York City to Honolulu, about how long would your flight take?

The distance from NYC to Honolulu is almost exactly 5000 miles, making your flight time 10 hours. The first commercial flight from the mainland to Hawaii didn't occur until 1936, when Pan Am began started flying passengers from San Francisco to Hawaii on its Martin M-130 Clippers.
