first airports (Auckland and LA) were 6 and 8h flights away

It must have been a real pain in the ass catching those flights without an airport. Did people get shot out of a cannon and hope to grab onto the wing? Did their baggage also get cannoned?

No no the flights are caught, but with giant butterfly nets, you have to jump on the back of the plane like it's a rodeo and get in that way, it's fine after the first couple times you get the hang of it.
