"Aloha" arrived approximately two hours after "Woolaroc", in 28 hours, 16 minutes, earning Jensen and Schluter the US$10,000 second prize. Out of his $10,000 winnings, pilot Jensen gave his navigator Schluter only $25. Details of Schluter's scanty share became public after he approached friends in Hawaii to help him cash a check; Jensen stated that Schluter had taken the position for experience and the "San Francisco Chronicle" reported that Schluter had offered to pay any Dole pilot $500 to permit him to navigate. Wyatt singled out the crew of "Aloha" for praise, calling their use of dead reckoning the greatest single achievement in the history of aviation, especially in comparison to the radio-following course of "Woolaroc", which he called "as easy as walking down a railroad track."
