I learned how to fly at Wheeler and Dillingham-

[ I learned at HNL/Hickam F16, 747, Cessna 172... ]

Oops! that reads like I was flying real airplanes. No No No

I meant only to imply the absurdity of being a student pilot lining up for 4R behind real airplanes in a Cessna (Caution jet wash)

Yeah, I got that. 4R could be spooky. I got cleared to land 4R right alongside 737’s and other big guys along the way. Used to go into slow flight just to lag a little behind their wash. I never did understand why the tower guys let us get that close?
