>>>> There were no direct flights between Hawaii and Seattle in 1961, and airlines wouldn’t allow small infants on airplanes then because of noise and sanitation factors.

Where you got these ideas I have no idea.

President Truman awarded the Honolulu-Seattle non-stop flight route to Northwest Orient Airlines in 1948. They flew the route with Boeing model 337 Stratocruisers, then DC-8s, then other jets continually to this date!

If you doubt it, check this old timetable showing pictures of their non-stop Seattle-Honolulu routes!

Also, I flew with infants on commercial aircraft, since I was an infant in the 1940s!

Why is everyone depending on all this foolishness? It makes FR look like nutville!

Very cute. The link is in Spanish.

You are the only person to come forward and make this claim so far. Plenty of others on this site or, like my neighbor who flew for airlines for decades, disputes what you say.

The only person who really knows is the Senator and his maternal grandmother. He refuses to say and she has been shut off and shut up.
