I don't own but they are increasing the hangar fees to some outrageous amount. See link below. I forgot to mention that rental insurance rates are double they are of the mainland. http://flyinginhawaii.com/dota-hangartiedown-appraisals-by-island/

I live in Hawaii. Vacationing here is not the same as living here. Yes, everything is expensive here (food, car registration, water, electricity come to mind). I came from the SF Bay Area so the cost of living is about the same. There's a lot of things that are backasswards compared to the...

Where'd you find the checklist at?

Thanks for your quick response!

I never really looked into this subject but is the 3rd class medical reform in effect? I did my 3rd class medical 5 years ago and it expires next month (Dec 2016). I'm not sure if I need to see an AME again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I flew with Tropicbird recently. Big Island aerial tour is a must for pilots! The lava flow going into the ocean and the Waipio Valley will blow your mind. It's about 2.5 hours on the hobbs to go around the entire island. The price is about the same as a helicopter tour but you do all the flying!

Rentals on Maui and Big Island are more expensive than HNL. You try calling these guys up? http://www.mauiaviators.com/

I have one. It was a pretty simple. No need to pay some company or lawyer to do it for you. I just found an approved exemption similar to what I was doing and did a find and replace with my own information. I submitted it last July and got approved in Oct. N number registration was pretty simple...

Solar Impulse just left PHJR and is on it's way to my old stomping grounds of the Bay Area. Some pics I shot this morning.

This is normal for the North 4 Arrival into HNL. Aircraft head towards Ford Island then to Navy Marine Golf Course and then too HNL. Most likely there was multiple traffic taking off/landing which is why she told the pilot to hold at the prison.

Heard it yesterday on ATC. Helicopter sank so fast that ATC had 2 other pilots (helo and airplane) look for it at the harbor. They ended up not finding it. It even took awhile for the police helicopter to spot them.

The only drones that get N numbers are those used for commercial purposes.

Sounds like they have a way of spotting them. http://www.liveatc.net/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=12974.0;attach=8647
