Loved the opening shot of the outside air terminal. Like everything in Hawaii, even the airport is beautiful! I've been there once...I MUST go back! 🏔🌤

[@sla31]

It's never a bad time to visit Hawaii. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your island hopping... So nice...

[@LMays-cu2hp]

The 717s are so cute flying and they remind me as well of the old DC-9s.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Fly safe always.

[@leemartin1417]

They remind me of the 727s which were almost everywhere in the late 70s and 80s. Remember flying many as a kid on airlines like American, the old Delta livery, prettier than the dull whites of today. Eastern, TWA and Braniff when it was around. Loved the many colors it showed. The 727s had the exact sound, music to the ears. Such fond memories as a young kid!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

@@leemartin1417 I agree with you about the old 727s. When I went to work with my former airline back in 1999, I flew the 727-200s a lot. They were very nice and fast. I began to miss them back in the early 2000s. But still great aircraft.I have noticed some cargo companies have the 727-200s still flying. And that is still nice to see.

[@AirportPlaneSpotting]

Wow! That plane looks like a baby compared to that Hawaiian Airlines A330

[@WashedAimerJayden]

You mean a330?!!?

[@AirportPlaneSpotting]

@@WashedAimerJayden Fixed now

[@sla31]

[@jhecht424]

There’s a wonderful feeling one gets when landing in Kona.

[@ChrisZoomER]

I love the shiny air intake lip of that engine!

[@margaretroselle8610]

Great flight…….and what a beautiful place Hawaii is. Thank you.

[@planelvr07]

Beautiful! I really like the view when taking off in Honolulu, on the most southern runway, the view is fantastic! When landing at Kona, it sure looks like you're going to land on the lava flow. Thank you for continuing to record when you exited the plane, it sure brought back some good memories with the scenery!

[@sla31]

Kona is one of my favorite places on Earth. I love the Big Island, and with Kona being the main gateway to the island, it's a place I've been now many times. It was really clear on this day. Usually clouds are coving the inland parts. As always, I'm glad you enjoyed this one and it was able to stir those memories up. Thanks for watching!

[@kaz1_f1]

hawaii looks so cool, i really wish to go there! I've been to the maldives too and both places look like heaven!

[@sla31]

Hawaii is well worth the trip, if you're ever able! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

I miss TWA's 717's! They were easy to fly as a flight attendant! Great view,and one I miss! TWA used to do a LAX-KOA run I got to work it only one time. Fun route, beautiful views! I need to visit again, if it just werent so expensive!

[@sla31]

Expensive seems to the name of the game on Hawaii. Prices are always well j the rise there! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@topgeardel]

Are you saying TWA used a B-717 from LAX-KOA ?

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

@@topgeardel no. Just in their fleet. I was also referencing that I'd worked that run. That run was a 757-200.

[@tomsamuelson8512]

You can still fly TWA's 717's...but you will have to scrape off the Delta paint.........

Flights on the 717 are always a good time! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@learnhaitiancreole]

Add videos to full flight delta airlines to Cedar Rapids to phoenix Arizona

[@robmetcalf8878]

Thanks for letting the engine shutdown sequence last a bit longer this time. Id love if you would stick around a bit longer during the shutdown as thats just as cool as the startup imo.

[@sla31]

That is something I've been trying to do better. I know a lot of people want to hear that. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@Anderson97321]

Hey there skylite! Just thought I would let you know Avelo airlines is doing an inaugural flight from Burbank to Boise! It's on may 24 jsut if your interested great content!!!

[@sla31]

That sounds fun, but I'll actually be in Europe filming on May 24th. And I can only be in one place at a time haha. I'll have to pass! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@RS-pq5mo]

I thought they were driving you there...

[@sla31]

They were for awhile haha. Thanks for watching!

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! I heard some people say turbulence is deadly and dangerous. Is that true?

[@sla31]

No. Although severe turbulence can be dangerous, 99% of the turbulence you're ever going to go through is mild-moderate and it is perfectly normal, the planes are designed to handle it, and it's perfectly safe.

[@eliteclassicdetailing]

Was the pilot in a hurry ? Departing Gee he was taxing fast.

[@sla31]

Hawaiian typically blocks their 717 inter-island flights for as little as possible. This often leads to very fast taxi times as the pilots are trying to stay on schedule. A lot of the time, their 717's will get to the gate like 15 minutes before they're supposed to leave again. Taxiing fast can make up a lot of time. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@p_nilly]

Do you prefer flying shorter sectors or longer ones?

[@sla31]

That's a great question. That I'm actually having to think about haha. I guess I'd say longer as that makes less work for me in the end, but when I upload daily, I couldn't sustain the channel on only longer flights. I have to take short segments so I can get enough filming in to actually release content everyday. So, it's a double edged sword haha.

[@JoeDFWAviation]

Did they add on to the inter-island terminal at HNL?

[@alohapeter]

Yes

[@sla31]

Yes, there’s a whole new section that’s been added to the inter-island terminal and as you can see in this video, they’re using it for mostly mainland flights. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@ejriffing9133]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@topgeardel]

Are the Hawaiian Islands visible from each other on the ground ?

[@sla31]

On clear days, yes. You can see the next island over, but not the ones farther down. If it's too hazy then you can't see any of the other islands. But if you're on say, Maui and look west towards Oahu, on most days, you'll be able to see the other islands. which is pretty good honestly, considering they're 80 miles apart.
