This authentic 1980s color photograph, captured in 1982, documents a World Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30CF (N105WA) parked at a terminal gate at Honolulu International Airport (now Daniel K. Inouye International Airport) on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The archival image captures the aircraft in its classic red, white, and gold livery, connected to a modern jet bridge. The sun-drenched tarmac is busy with period-correct ground service equipment, including a yellow fuel truck, baggage carts, and various tugs. World Airways was a major charter and scheduled carrier that played a significant role in Pacific travel during this era. While the airline ceased all operations in 2014, this aircraft remains a symbol of the wide-body jet boom that transformed Hawaiian tourism in the early eighties. Honolulu International Airport is still standing today as the state’s primary aviation hub, though the gates and terminal structures have seen extensive redevelopment since 1982 to accommodate larger modern fleets. This factual record preserves a moment in aviation history when the DC-10 was a staple of long-haul travel to the islands.
