Bill,
One more photo from that flight...
Kaulapapa is a peninsula on the north shore of Molokai... It was formed by the caldera near the top of the photo. Just beyond the top of the photo are huge sea cliffs that cut off Kaulapapa from the rest of the island. Even today the only land access is via a mule trail that switchbacks down the face of the cliffs.
It's a leper colony. In the old days ships would sail close and dump the lepers into the sea. Most never made it to shore. Those that did were to live out the remains of their lives under the law of the jungle. A place of much pain, darkness and suffering.
When the surf is big, the breaking waves will send a wall of spray onto the numbers at the 5 end of the runway... Big thrill for the passengers but makes the plane all salty.
Don't fly the FireFly between the islands... All shot from a spam-can I rent from the local flight school.
Aloha,

Henry- Thanks! Keep them coming. Another place I'll never get to, but I love the view from the light planes. Definately not New England.

Bill,
As these photos are not really Kolb related... Send me your eMail address & I'll send some of the better shots, larger with more detail.
Aloha,
Henry
