The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating whether two
airline pilots who flew past the airport in Hilo Hawaii by 15
miles last Wednesday were asleep.

Go! Airlines flight 1002 left from Honolulu and was expected to
land in Hilo around 10 a.m., but had to turn around after flying
past the airport. ...

A radar track of the flight provided by the Web site
www.flightaware.com shows the plane remained at 21,000 feet as it
flew past Hilo before returning to the airport.
