Kauai, from the Air - Part 1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My son and I managed to get a helicopter flight on Monday morning.  It was somewhat touch and go.  We managed to get aloft at around 8AM.  The flight after us (after we got back) was canceled.  Later flights in the day took place.  The wind is a peculiar thing.  For the safety of everyone involved, there are numerous wather stations around the island monitoring wind and visibility conditions.

This is the first set of numerous sets of pictures I took from the helicopter tour.  The pilot, my son and I went aloft with a sunny sky.  And the hope that there would not be too much fog in some of the areas we were going to fly to.

	Thanks for the comments. The helicopter flight was interesting - with the wind and the fog, the scenery was inspiring (though sometimes difficult to convey beautifully). The series is long, due to my attempt to show the flight, rather than specific points of interest.
