Diverted Hawaiian Airlines landing in San Francisco (SFO)

[DELTA1978THETA]

I remember flying on United Airlines Flight 0003 from OGG to ORD via KOA. 15 minutes after take off we diverted back to Kona where a mechanic had to fix the same problem. Total Hours in Kona before heading to ORD: 45 minutes. On the bright side we landed in ORD about an hour before we were supposed to arrive thanks to the strong tail winds.

the water pressure wasnt working, so we had no water, bathroom, etc. So about an hour into the flight, we had to turn back around. We were delayed about 4 hours in total... not too bad considering the situation. They handled it very well.

[69Iolani]

[simpsonstewie]

@simpsonstewie Im really curious if any fuel was dumped?

A "heavy" on trans oceanic flights fills-up?

LIttle cargo in the bay...or is Hawaain Airlines flying their planes with very little safety margin of reserve fuel?
