Sightseeing the way wealthy tourists do

This is probably the way Martyn travelled last October, but he was polite enough not to send us pictures of all his scenic flights. I´ll start to fill this gap now, beginning with his first leg in Oahu. Taking off from PHNL...

... and turning back westwards over the airport, ...

Kawela...

... and Kahuku at the northwestern tip of Oahu.

Finally he watched the rugged beauty of the north shore on approach to Kaneohe.

In Kaneohe it was time for a lunch break (Champagne, crabs, caviar and the like), before his travel continued.

A glorious series of images Gerold.

There are so many places in the ORBX world that I can relate to both in Australia and the UK and gladly I have added a whole new swathe to these recognisable places!

Stupid me, I never thought of doing a helicopter flight while I was there.

Great shots of the island Gerold.

That was easy John. The long-awaited full-fat region Oahu is simply beautiful.

Thank you for the comment and this scenery provider for giving us so many options to simulate the earth.

It is not only the thinking of scenic flights, it is also the difficult relation of cost-to-fun that makes deciding and planning a challenge. At least to those of us who did not win in a lottery.
