Thanks HBH. Refresh my aging memory if you will about the Punch Bowel. I think that is where I went to see Buck Owens when he played there back in 65. Boy, anybody's memory would fail that far back....LOL.
Lol, 65 is before my time. I have associated the punch bowl to be the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
Buck Owens is country music right? My grandfather was the country music guy, me not so much lol. I believe Mr Owens his remains now lie at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Punchbowl Crater on Oahu, Hawaii?
Great to hear that guys, may get a chance to see them about three times then. I am not sure what aircraft I will be on, Travis has quite a few different ones coming through. Most likely it will be a C-117 or a C-5.
Thanks guys. I just remember going to watch Buck and his band one night and if I recall correctly. It was at the Punch Bowl. What is it used for now? Is it worth driving by and looking at it you can get into it?

Are you sure you got the right name? Where was the "Punch Bowl" located? Maybe you are thinking of the Waikiki Shell in Kapiolani Park.

Rounding out the picture... since 1949 the Oahu Punchbowl, a prehistoric volcanic crater, has been the site of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, where many military casualties were buried...
And since 2006, Buck Owens, founder of "The Bakersfield Sound" in country music, former owner of The Crystal Palace restaurant in Bakersfield, where he played his last concert, dying hours later in his sleep at his longtime Bakersfield home, and owner of many other Bakersfield businesses, including recording studios and music stores, has been laid to rest in the Owens family's marble mausoleum in Bakersfield, with a sign over the door reading: "Buck's Place."
Thanks guys for the info. Remember, I was an eighteen year old kid at the time, the army bussed us down one night when he was in town and we got to see him. I thought it was the Punchbowl. Could be wrong, but that name has always stuck in my mind.
Hey guys/gals, I plan on bringing my GPS with me. Should I also bring my radar detector? I don't plan on speeding....lol. But they are good for radar traps, witch I tend to sleep through....
GPS is good. But with all the traffic and construction going on might have some slow driving.
Base police at Pearl Harbor/Hickam use radar guns for the 25mph speed limit on the base.
Normally the motor bike police set up with the speed guns on the fwy. Heads up for that.
