Let's FLY

A  L  O  H  A !



Thanks for swinging by today.  
                                     You're just in time for our flight -

Looks like a nice day to fly somewhere


" Music fathoms the sky. "

Charles Baudelaire







What is going on up there?  Shall we find out?



" My witness is the empty sky. "

          Jack Kerouac








Always exciting just before a flight!


 " Excuse me while I kiss the sky. "

                                Jimi Hendrix




Good Bye Honolulu!


" One of my great joys in life is being a pilot.
There is a great sense of freedom 
in soaring through the sky.
You get a different perspective up there. 
Seeing things that aren't so apparent from the ground. "

Sonny Perdue 


   

Now On To Our Destination:


If you have time, check out the inter-island flight video
and spend some time on the rural Big Island:





If you'd like to see more of Hilo
from the air, you'll enjoy the take-off below.
I recommend you mute your speakers.

    The view from the air is always fantastic and that famous view from space even more so.

    Nothing better than landing in Hawaii......Nothing worse than leaving! I cry everytime.
    I have been to Oahu once, Maui three times and later this summer I'm going to Kauai!!! I can't wait. I love the anticipation of a trip. I enjoy reading about destination and planning....so much fun!

    I like the concept of flying and enjoying riding in a private aircraft but I hate getting on a airliners. I'm 6'-5" and I'm always on some glorified jet-powered puddle jumper, jammed up with another guy my size or bigger.

    Interesting. I am not a good flyer, but found the take off with no sound much, much easier and less stomach clenching than usual.
    Thanks.
