Hasn't changed much since I've been here - now we have the Pali, Like Like,
and H-3 to get to the other side. All the development has been west of
Pearl City on out to Kapolei.

After the Islander we spent part of our time just outside the base too, the rest of the time ON the base......Tarrawa Terrace.... they were big on naming stuff after WW2 battles. Used to play in the old bunkers that were on the coast, the only way to play war when you're a kid......also used C-rations for food.
If you don't mind the inquiry what was the shipping to Hi for the Cobra? I remember it was so pricey at that time, my dad sold his new '57 Turnpike Cruiser wagon and bought an old '51 Chevy so he had enough money to ship a car.It was replaced later in Hi. by a new compact car called a Mercury Comet...that ol' 144 was not quite enough for a 5 kid family with luggage....or without probably.
Didn't mean to step on the thread... That is a nice color combo
