This gallery is from a chartered one-hour helicopter above the lava that took off at about 6:00 PM on Saturday evening. A woman I had met on the Lava Boat on Thursday morning had chartered the chopper and invited me to join her and another friend of hers that she had met in the town of Pahoa (near the fissures spewing lava and gasses). I am VERY thankful for her invite and this was a FANTASTIC flight!
