Stillwater Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 After his morning flight and the appropriate lunch... ... Martyn looked around at Kaneohe for a friendly pilot to take him back to Honolulu city. He soon met Mr. Calvin, Theodore Calvin, who offered him a helicopter ride. At first they went to a place called "Robin´s nest" to pick up some friends, Rick and Thomas. By chance, the owner (a famous writer) was not there, so they equipped themselves with some more snacks and went off. The Round Top Forest Reserve looks great... ... and Honolulu is not less impressive. Diamond Head... ... and the attempt to drop Martyn at his hotel. But the platform was not solid, so he had to continue flying with these funny guys. Sightseeing and history lessons at the USS Arizona memorial, ... ... USS Bowfin, ... ... the landside of the museum, ... ... and, finally, Mighty Mo. There are also some more recent ships based here. The three veterans decided to use an uncommon landing spot; they probably have old friends out there. I just hope the Australian tourist was not arrested too long for getting off the helicopter here.

Jack Sawyer Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Excellent Gerold! One of the first things we did when he visited was load the new Hawaii. And when he saw it he recognized all the places he went to and explained all the places he saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks Gerold for this wonderful tour of Oahu. ORBX has done a marvellous job of the island. I didn't watch Magnum PI when it was on the TV and the only Magnum I am familiar with is the one on a stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not post any potential nightlife here! 18 hours ago, Iain Emms said: Great shots Gerold. cheers Iain Thanks Iain! 16 hours ago, adambar said: Fantastic shots and story Gerold! Thank you Adam. Sorry, travelling over Oahu in a helicopter gives me no other option but taking this livery. 9 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Excellent Gerold!

I have never been to Hawaii (yet). So I can "just" enjoy the level of detail and the virtual beauty. Maybe someday I can add this personal emotion... 4 hours ago, VH-KDK said: Thanks Gerold for this wonderful tour of Oahu. ORBX has done a marvellous job of the island.

Repeat it on Netflix or YT! Magnum on a stick? I know what you are thinking and you got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
