Flying Tropical Hawaii – A Maui to Lanai Cirrus Flight

Recently co-host Len Costa had a chance to fly a Cirrus SR22 G3 with Maui Flight Academy in Maui, Hawaii. The flight originated in Maui’s Kahului Airport (PHOG) making a $100 hamburger run to the island of Lanai (PHNY) where we took a shuttle bus trip up the mountain to the Four Seasons hotel for a very delicious and scenic lunch.

This is our first of two flying videos starting in Maui bound for Lanai. A second video from Lanai to the Sea Cliffs of Molokai will follow.

And if you missed the audio interview with Maui Flight Academy, find that and some sick-nasty scenery photos here: SMAC036a – Flying Cirrus in Hawaii with Maui Flight Academy

Part 2 of the video is now available: Flying Tropical Hawaii – Sea Cliffs of Molokai Cirrus Flight

Video – Landing a Jet in the Islands

A couple months back, I flew a Beechcraft Premier business jet down to the Bahamas to pick up a client and take them home stateside.  Because it was an empty leg, I figured it was an excellent time to get some video of some flying in this beautiful area of the globe.  Shown in this video is the takeoff, some scenes from cruise, some time-lapsed footage of the descent and approach, and then my landing from the left seat.

Enjoy!
