Flight over Kaho'olawe, Sep.2003

==All flights on Hawaii ==
<< Fly back to Lanai | Fly to Molokini, Haleakala and land in Hana >>

With Maui Aviators to Kaho`olawe, 5.Sep.2003
We crossed the Kealaikahiki Channel from Lanai to Kaho`olawe. This was the first time that I saw the island again since my flight of Jan.1999. Meanwhile the ordnance removal process has been finished and the island is being now slowly returned to its original state. This renewal process has a deep spiritual meaning to Hawaiian people. Maybe one day we will be able to visit this island by ourselves.

Best information about Kaho`olawe is probably on: http://www.protectkahoolaweohana.org/ . This site provides links to galleries with images. Literature references contain the tribute to the people who gave so much to return this island to its primary status: "Ho`iho`i Hou - A Tribute to George Helm & Kimo Mitchell."
