Hawaiian Hot Lap

I was in Hawaii 2019, hired a C172 and did a 3/4 lap…ie headed east out of Honolulu, and returned via the centre valley…as I am an Aussie PPL holder, obviously had to have an American safety pilot…he was a local instructor…so gave me a running dialogue of Hawaii’s geographical history…very interesting…Great fun departing and arriving at PHNL…busy, busy…had to be on my toes with the “machine gun” chatter from ATC…thank goodness for the safety pilot…I’d be still requesting…“please repeat”…
Other than spotting the usual Tube liners… I had some fantastic views of F22’s and C17’s doing their thing. After seeing your photos I’ll have to give it a go in the sim.
