Honiara to Hawaii on a single tank?

HIR- HNL is 3,086 NM on a direct track , so shouldn’t be an issue for an empty 737-800 , particularly West to East with favourable winds .

ONU did BNE HNL direct in July IIRC On her ferry

[Max C]

ONU went via Pago Pago and possibly one other port prior

Roger that, HNL rare birds noted “Nauru Airlines is ferrying VH-ONU (c/n 28732, l/n 2966) from BNE to MIA, with a stop at HNL and ONT. This 737-3U3 arrived early this morning on a direct flight from BNE. It departed this afternoon ahead of Hurricane Douglas.“

The track on Flightradar24 has it climbing out of PAG.

You can’t track Nauru Air on flightaware otherwise you could just look up what flights were filed.

EDIT: Just scroll along and you'll see it on climb.

The problem with FR24 is that unless the flight is a known RPT flight, the ports won't be correct unless it sees the aircraft on the ground at each stop.
