Oh yes. I remember them doing it in 2004, so I went hunting on the Internet to find their show and figure out when it was coming.Originally posted by EastCoastTropics View Post
Maybe I'm just strange, but I can have almost as much fun just watching the planes flyby at close range as at show center. Put me on a hill top near the turn around point or the path and I'm happy.Comment

Re: Blue Angels Over Kaneohe '07
Na Alii, nice shots. Much more detail than I could get.
I'm guessing this Ferrari was the most expensive STOCK car at the show...
Couple of race cars there could have been more.
I have no idea what these next two classics are. If you know, let us know...

Put that ZZ Top back in the CD player...
This is a cool shot, with Aloha Airlines and the Koolau range in the background...
As much as I love cars, I have no idea what year, make and model these classics are. If you know, once again please let us know!sigpic The Tasty IslandComment

Re: Blue Angels Over Kaneohe '07
That looks like a fun one to fly. Saw it go by at about eye level one day while hiking. You sit out in front. All the wings, engine and stuff are behind you. It's just you and the seat your sitting in - flying.Originally posted by Pomai View PostProps for props...

Re: Blue Angels Over Kaneohe '07
That looks similar to what we saw flying along the Kona coast over the week-end. My daughter would've loved to try it.Originally posted by GeckoGeek View PostComment

Re: Blue Angels Over Kaneohe '07
Look out for this Friday's October 19 edition of Midweek. From the desk of Bobby Curran (of UH Warriors radiocast fame) in "CurranEvents", there's a story about his flight aboard the Blue Angels this past week.
He mentions that KITV's Shawn Ching and Miss Hawaii Pili Gaison also took a ride. That's all I'll say. Look out for the paper this weekend. Not sure when Midweek will post the article, but here's the link to Bobby's section here.sigpic The Tasty IslandComment

Re: Blue Angels Over Kaneohe '07
Well, I'll say something else, then -- I'm surprised Shawn's extra-wide shoulders could even fit in the cockpit!!!Originally posted by Pomai View Post

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.Comment

Well, now you can read what Bobby said, as Midweek now has it posted online!Originally posted by LikaNui View Post
Samoa...
P-3 Orion...
This the same model of aircraft that collided with a Chinese fighter jet in 2001 over Hainan Island and became a political nightmare.
It's signature feature is the long boom on the tail called a "Stinger", which actually functions as a Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD). Also like that Sea Hawk I provided photos of earlier, it has a Sonobuoy launcher and systems station. Tax payers' dollars hard at work finding enemy subs.
I bet this plane is a TON of FUN to fly!...
