Due to a change in airport code, I took MKW off the Pacific Rim Achievement.

Just so you know. this is one of the most challenging accomplishments to obtain. It requires a lot of long hauls to get to the destinations. Only 27 pilots have attained it and that's the lest number of all airport-related destination accomplishments we offer. I'm going to try to add some more historical flights to make its pursuit not so brutal.

PASY (Shemya) was used to Northwest Orient Airlines (NWA) as a technical stop for service between the U.S. and Asia. I just cannot find what routes they flew as of yet

I found some references. NWA used PASY as a stopping place surely in the early 50's when enroute to Tokyo. I will get these in the schedule. Cool destination!

Just added NW 1951 Legs 1 and 2 westbound and NW 1952 Legs 1 and 2 east bound. Times might be a bit off but they're there. I dare anyone to fly the DC-6B on those routes! biggrin

Thanks, maybe I will get my DC-6 out of the hanger and do the return flight with it tomorrow

Just Google Shemya... there are interesting pictures and stories from people that were stationed there. Even picts of NWA DC6s.

Actually found a picture of a NWA B377 at PASY... so I think my east bound will be done with that good old bird

Should the Tokyo leg(s) be utilizing RJTT as it is a circa 1950's route?

Good point since RJAA didn't come about until 1978.
