    I got to Hickam a few times. In 1981 we diverted there on the way to Guam with a B-52D with the new Digital Bombing Navigation System DBNS with INS. We got a few days vacation. In late 1982 our crew got to take a B-52D to Hickam for an open house/air show display... another "vacation". We drove through the Magnum PI set past the red Ferrari parked on the side of the road with a mass of people on the other side with cameras and equipment! That was one of my favorite shows!

      That would have been cool to see. I almost made it into a scene of Hawaii 5-0 once, which was being filmed on the road in front of runway 4 at HNL, near the Kam Gate at Hickam.
