Old Marconi Radio Station, long since abandoned |
Kahuku Airfield. Also long ago abandoned. Far north point of Oahu. |

Polynesian Cultural Center. Not nearly as exciting as it looks from here. |
Green Valley. The site of many movies. |
A view of Kaneohe Harbor not often seen by "the public" (the Marines are very protective of their airspace) |

Waialua Bridge on Kauai (I know, it should be on the Kauai page but it was the same day and an additional tasked mission) |
Apparently CAP wanted to see how long it would take for us to plan and execute a photo recon mission. |
So we were tasked to go take pictures of a bridge on Kauai... |
Still not sure what this is. Looks like a Totem Pole now... |
North Shore Doing High-Bird waiting for our turn in the ELT search box |
Our turn in the box. Five minutes later, target located. Look in the red circle for a yellow panel. |
Hard to see, isn't it? |
Imagine trying to see it at 75 kts while getting tossed about by the turbulence. |
Still not easy to see even after knowing where to look |
Your Civil Air Patrol on guard. Just hope that if you do go down we are on duty. |
The product of somebody with a LOT of time on their hands. This isn't in a place that it's likely to be seen by very many people. |
The range where I sharpen my archery skills. Just happens to be right under the downwind for RNWY-6 at Wheeler AAF. |
