Leina'ala Ann Teruya Drummond, whose face is seen on the tail of Hawaiian Airlines aircraft, died in Hilo at age 77.
“The pualani, or “flower of the sky," logo has adorned the tails of Hawaiian Airlines' planes for decades and had several iterations over the years. The current version of the famous island girl and the one that most closely resembles Drummond dates to 1973.
Hawaiian Airlines said in a statement that its pualani logo was not specifically modeled after Drummond or any other person.*”
