Same! I contacted both groups (I want to say it was late 2020 or early 2021?) - both sets of people are super. Both of them live FAR away from Hawai’i too, which I think makes it more impressive (South Oak is in the Midwest US if I recall).
Back to Alaska though so I don’t draw the attention of a mod…again. ;).
My first couple of flights up there have been fun. I’ve been in the Britten-Norman BN-2B-20. Have had to keep an eye on carb temps up there! 10k altitude in AK is just different than HI.
