Hawaii Nonstop Flight
The Pacific Golden Plover (
Kolea
) offers seasonal migration flights between Alaska and Hawaii.
They have been recorded at FL200 at over 100 mph, with 2 WFPS (wing flaps per second) during the 2,500 mile nonstop.
And they can't swim.
Their motto:
Ai no ke kolea a momona hoi i Kahiki!
