how to deliver the b717 to hawaii?

Have you ever wondered how aircraft manufacturers deliver new smaller aircraft over long distances? how the b717 flies all the way from the west coast to Hawaii? i found a intersting article: How Does The Boeing 717 Fly All The Way To The Mainland?

Did you hear in the aviation museum in Ottawa there’s a DC-9 and it was on a short runway airport? They took out all the seats and stuff so they had basicly a working shell, and they landed it and reassembled it.

I’m pretty sure if a 717-200 uses full fuel it could make it to Hawaii.

That is actually very interesting. Thanks for the great share @virginatlantic28!

08 and 25. Hmmm… definitely something weird going on there. Or maybe they made it a runway because so many planes emergency land on it? Naaa. Just joking. But it should be rem ok vec from the game if it’s not their irl.
