The liver is the second largest organ, weighing 2 kg.

Between May 31 and June 9, 1928, Charles Kingsford Smith, with C.T.P. Ulm, H. Lyon and J. Warner made the first air crossing of the Pacific from Oakland, California via Honolulu and Suva, to Brisbane, Queensland, in "Southern Cross", a Fokker F.VIIb-3m.

Amelia Earhart only flew to Hawaii.
Charles Lindburg was the first to cross the Atlantic (1927 I think), NY to Paris.
