15 years ago, I did a lovely flight around Hawaii's Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, so I figured I'd do it again this time around. It was still fun but unfortunately the winds were strong and greatly limited where I was able to fly, so it was just a quick loop around half the island as it was apparently not safe to go to West Maui, Lanai, or Molokai:

N335SP is what I flew 15 years ago, it's still there

N6009V was my ride this time around

the garden I had been to a few days earlier

Hana airport

Venus pool

Seven Sacred Pools

a good vantage point of the older lava flow

Since the flight was much shorter, the highlight was Molokini:

lots of snorklers :)

It was then time to fly up the coast towards the airport:

I noticed this drag strip

And that was it for the flight, a bit short but better than nothing
