A Dallas/Fort Worth-bound American Airlines flight seemingly followed a departure route unlike the standard procedures from Hawaiis largest airport on Friday. Rather than making an immediate right turn to ascend offshore, the aircraft climbed directly over downtown Honolulu, catching the eye of a witness on the ground.
