CRJ 200s in Hawaii

[Poahi]

I don't know of a pic of the CRJ with the ferry tanks, but here's how Hawaiian does it with the 717. It's a similar arrangement.

I think they would need quite a bit in case you lose an engine and pressurization 1/2 way over and run out of oxygen, requiring you to descend.

I don't think they came anywhere near ETOPS standards.

May have been asked, but how did the crews get the CRJs to Hawaii? Extra Tanks or some obscure route?

J/O resurrected some old Egyptian slave-ship and had all the new-hires row as the damn thing towed them all across the pacific.

He had to take out the whip to keep some awake, others for trying to listen to their ipod.

And then when they finally got to port, there was "crew tracking" waiting on the dock to tell them they had to do the return trip too.

what a shame.

From what I understand the internal tanks where in the form of a six pack and installed in the back of the cabin. This same tank is used when bringing the planes back to the continental 48 for heavy chk.

Same setup with smaller tanks. They looked like beer kegs but a tad longer.

It's only a 4 hour flight from SFO. How much fuel will the LR CR2 hold? No seats would make it lighter for the burn, but the backpacks and Ipod weight might be a wash! And if the IPOD had 4 hours worth of music loaded, then they may have been overweight!

I would Add about 1.5 - 2 hours to that estimate. The times that I have made the flight, we fly at FL450 and .78 and it is around 5.5 hours going westbound.

And they took turns sleeping during the flight.

Yep, right after they taxied across an active runway in ATL....ops that one was ASA.
