Trip to OGG next week, who to rent from?

[bjohnsonmn]

Hello All,
I leave next week for 5 days in Maui. (SkyMiles + $5, and wife's work hotel).

I'll have wheels while I'm there, and can head to any airport on the island.

Right now, I am booked for a flight with Maui Aviators, and would be looking to rent solo after that.

Does anyone have any experience with MA? I've flown the islands before, and would like a plane that is safe, and fun to fly. I don't need a Cirrus, but I also don't want a rusty bird.

Thanks!

No worries, aluminum doesn't rust. Sounds like fun all in all.

They have a nice 172SP, IIRC it's about an 06 model. I flew it when it was pretty much new. One of the regular posters here, agscpa, was just there a couple of weeks ago and flew the same plane. He reported that they had just redone the leather interior.
Everything I've seen about MA has been positive, have fun!

It's been a few years, but I had a very pleasant experience with MA. Have fun!

Excellent! I am looking forward to the experience.

I spoke with the instructor I am flying the tour and checkout with, and it sounds like we will have some fun on the trip. I'll have my Garmin VIRB running, so expect some fun video!

Aloha!
