Landing in Honolulu (HNL) 9 May 2019

HA 345 OGG-HNL 717-200 on Rwy 8L Seat F 2F 04:57 Waikiki and Le’ahi 06:00 Honolulu and the Ko’olau Mountains 8:00 Passing by the Reef Runway 8:45 The mouth of Pearl Harbor and the final turn 9:30 Touchdown This video picks up right where the last video ended, as these were originally recorded as one long trip. The Kaiwi Channel gives way to the cliffs of Koko Head in the distance before the rest of O’ahu and famous Waikiki reveal themselves to us. The little 717 takes a quick turn to the north flying just past the Reef Runway and over the mouth of Pearl Harbor before making a low altitude 90 degree turn just beyond the threshold of the runway before a quick touchdown right on the markers. These quick interisland landings in Honolulu are definitely an underrated approach.
