HORIZONS







CAPTAIN BILL HARRIS

ONA CREW ON www.onacrew.com
I started flying with ONA in January 
1969 and flew passengers out of New York
for about 6 months. Thereafter I bid Log Air 
operations as there was a lot more take 
off and landings and many different lay- 
over destinations, which I really enjoyed.

I flew the DC 9 for about 4 years and then 
upgraded to Electra Captain, I flew log air 
for another 3 years until ONA shut that 
operation down. I then went to the DC-8 
and started flying all over the world. 
This was a lot of fun!

I flew the Hodge, ( don't know how to spell 
that) I think it was around 1975, the year 
that the company rented the Greek cruise 
ship and anchored it in the Red Sea.



M/S GALAXY, Jeddah the Red Sea

The rooms were very comfortable and the 
swimming pool was great. We had a lot of 
fun, especially the girl to guy ratio 
which must have been 20 to 1 at least.

When ONA told us they were going to close 
their operation I left and started flying 
Captain for Hawaiian Air. That was my
occupation for about 1 year. I then 
decided to give up my flying as I was 
burnt out.

While flying on the DC8 to Europe I became 
interested in the concrete paving systems 
that I saw in those countries, so in 1978 
I started a pre-cast concrete company.
I ran that business very successfully 
for about 15 years. After selling the 
business to a bigger company, I retired 
at age 55.

About a year ago I became interested in 
the Internet Marketing Business which I 
am now doing,  having fun, helping people 
and making money.

I am really enjoying this and am doing 
very well. Hope all of the old ONA 
crew members are happy, healthy and 
wise.
 
Love Bill
