Saw whales breaching during my descent into Kona! The ocean was sparkling and it was a clear day!

Recommend Tropicbird Flight School if you are wanting to rent an aircraft while on the Big Island. They have great aircraft including a 182; a G1000 172 and Diamond 120. Call Mike or Ashley to reserve an aircraft. Spectacular island flying!

This little airport on the very northwest tip of the big island is probably one of the most challenging landings in Hawaii. Expect a lot of turbulence on approach. A wind farm is adjacent to the airport -- go figure why they built an airport here... No based aircraft or fuel. Enjoy!

Get place to eat just a mile away from the airport -- Seaside Restaurant; on Kalanianaole Ave. Great seafood, a local favorite.

Better be up on your crosswind training when landing here... neat little airport with terminal. Unattended most of the time -- NO FUEL.

"A short coral runway still remains on the island, but is in disuse and is not maintained."

The approach into this airport is amazing with blackened earth surrounding pristine tarmac. It was quite the shock to see this place in the middle of paradise. The airport itself is made up of a series of interconnected huts. Half the time you are outdoors even on the airside.

A Beech 1900 on a mail run went down 7 miles short of runway 35 on 14 January 2008:
