"Takeoff..." from a very young aviation enthusiast... (at 19:19) followed by that loveliest of ALL aviation sounds - "Ding” - which will always mean, at least for me, "You're in the air, son..."

Good view of Fox, McNeil, Anderson and Ketron Island. Good views of the South Sound. Good views of Rainier. Good views of the Black Hills. Good view of the Chehalis River Valley. Good views of the Willapa Hills. Excellent views of Willapa Bay and Long Beach! Good view of the mouth of the Columbia River. That's all of the water from the entire Columbia River Drainage System emptying out into the Pacific Ocean. Good views of the Oregon Coast. And fantastic views of Oahu coming into HNL!! Loved the late afternoon lightning. Yes, I did fill out the required forms. Yes, I did follow all instructions given by the flight crew. Now... it's time for me to rest up from the 3 hour time difference that hit me below the belt - Oof!

they just need a replacement for their older 767-300er. The problem is: the closest replacement has a problem. The 330-800neo is not selling well at all and it is too big to operate and advanced, and the 787-8 whit is the best option, Delta has problems with Boeing whit the chances that they get are very low. So they are stuk

Beautiful takeoff and landing. Amazing views

[@Dexterlexious]

at first when the plane was landing i saw the view outside and i was like "is this Honolulu" because he used to be on the right side of the aircraft. it was just spectacular.

[@sla31]

I do typically sit on the other side of the plane when flying to HNL. This is because the sun tracks across the southern sky in the northern hemisphere. I don't want to stare at the sun for 5-10 hours. And trust me, neither do you haha. However, due to the time of day, time of year when I took this flight, and since it departed from a city much farther north than usual, it actually was better to sit on the left side for this flight. I use multiple sites to reference the sun's position in the sky when planning what seat I want for a flight. Those include, timeanddate.com, sunflight.net, and suncalc.net.

Waow! I could really feel the intensity of that landing! .. And those smoking hot brakes was a nice confirmation of the former. Brake fans anyone? :0

[@turbofanct6679]

That smoke wasn’t involving the brakes. It’s condensation coming from the so called “drain mast”, a protruding tube placed under the engine. Apparently, both the RR Trent XWB and Trent 7000 tend to smoke a lot after landing, you can check that in many other videos. Btw yes, it’s marvellous how the brakes eat up all that kinetic energy all at once :)

Never seen approach coming from the states rounding Kaena Point before. More familiar approach from the Mainland is entering near Kaneohe, flying on top of Waikiki then the final turn to the east near Barber’s Point to land.

[@sla31]

I’ve heard this approach is used more for arrivals from more northern cities like Vancouver, Seattle, Anchorage, etc. Which makes sense. Typically I fly in to HNL from more southern locations. Dallas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, etc. I might have to fly in from the north more often!

[@rhuertas70]

@@sla31 I have done HNL from SFO, LAX and DFW and they use the traditional approach. Entering Oahu just south of Kaneohe sometimes overflying Maui and Molokai. By the way didn’t realized that there was a nonstop from Austin to HNL. Who flies that route?

I hold the camera by hand, even on long flights like this. I've never been able to find a mount that can deal with the vibrations associated with flying. Both from wind resistance and the engines. When you mount the camera to the window, all of those vibrations get transferred into the mount, and then into the lens of the camera. It makes the footage look like you were filming through a clear bowl of jello. Nothing beats my arms, full of muscle and fat, to help absorb all of those vibrations.

What are the procedures upon entering Honolulu per Covid?

[@sla31]

Well, at the moment, you either have to have been fully vaccinated or have had a negative covid test no more than 72 hours before arrival. If you have either of those you can enter the state without any quarantines. Most airlines are doing "pre-clearance" now. They check all your documents at. your departure airport and give you a wristband. This allows you to bypass the covid checks when you arrive. It's all done through Hawaii's "safe travel" website.
