The photo on the left is of the current State of Hawaii, DOT-Airports administration building. Back in the mid 80's this was the commuter terminal with counters for four tenants. Kona Helicopters and Hemmeter Aviation occupied two of those. Hemmeter converted its small (50 sq. ft.) office behind the counter into a lounge for its crew and passengers of transient jets.
