A pilot who sits behind the wings???? Doesn't he/she even get Econo+? Yes, the left side (A seats) is better than the right side, except in the summer when Kona winds make a southern landing, so sit on the right side (F). This is a 757 (except Alaska and Westjet who fly 737's). It is a great place to visit (I go there 2-3 times a year). Best seats on a 757 is 8A or 9A (to catch a glimpse of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa or 8F/9F in summer (where you can film Kapa'a) on the way to the actual landing.

Wooow! beautiful

[ooberzombies]

I was born and raised on Kauai. I can't wait to go back. I've been homesick ever since I moved to New Hampshire. I miss the friendly atmosphere the most. But especially my friends and family. I realized I took it for granted when I moved here. I hope you enjoyed it. :)

Great vid was this a 757? Lol the kids comment about the sharks, that was kinda funny.

[confidential247]

[tails3344]

[INOWHATUDIDLASTSUMMA]

Great vid. I'm heading there in an hour for 12 days

[scaremenga]

@INOWHATUDIDLASTSUMMA A 12 day flight? WOW!

[INOWHATUDIDLASTSUMMA]

@scaremenga no i went there for 12 days dumbass.

[scaremenga]

@INOWHATUDIDLASTSUMMA I was joking, dumbass.

[lutufyan]

Cool video, thank you! So which side of the plane do I want to sit when arriving/leaving Lihue? Left or right?

[confidential247]

Landing there you want to be on the left side like i was, otherwise you'll see nothing buy sea. Plus you get to see some of the other islands.  It was night when i left Lihue so i couldn't see that much.

[libbyandsione]

i live here it is pretty awesome but Kahului is the best.

[coolalving2]

i thought only little planes cn land there?? noo

[scaremenga]

@coolalving2 Lihue can handle a DC-10.

[How5by5]

I went threw L.A also. Was on Delta...Was an old 757...The 767 was much nicer from Atlanta to L.A...Kauai got boring after spending 7 days there.....Get some new planes Delta like the 737-800

[Polynesian576]

Were you arriving from San Francisco SFO or Los Angeles LAX?

[confidential247]

i went through LAX

[koochy79]

767's can land in Lihue...maybe weight restricted at times...but just like the 757-200 the 767 is an overpowered airplane w/ it's enormous engines and the power they produce!

[scaremenga]

@koochy79 There's no such thing as an overpowered aircraft. Each aircraft is designed with it's purposes in mind.

[koochy79]

@scaremenga Actually there is in this case. The Pratt and Whitney Engines in those 57's are the same they have in ALL 767's (200,300.400) So the 757 being lighter in weight can haul out of there like a screeching eaqle

and think nothing of it. That's also how they are able to take off out of SNA with a full boat...

[scaremenga]

@koochy79 No.. they can "haul out of there like a screeching eaqle" because they are meant to. They are by design "overpowered" so they are not "overpowered" because it is intended to have a high thrust-to-weight ratio. For hot and high conditions. Now, if there was a 757 rolling around with some GE90-115B's strapped to it, that would be overpowered because they're not intended to have 220,000lb of thrust. They are powerful, yes. Not overpowered.

thats an awesome approach!

[simplyplainethan]

So the other day i was walking in the grocery store when some little bratty snotty kid picked his nose, insulted his mother, and slipped on the wet floor and hit his face on the wet floor sign!

[CarterBoyy227]

thanks for sharing no1 cares

[PreciousBabyDiamond8]

Looks like a beautifu place

[phgangsta]

Good quality video! What type of jet was it. I flew there with united in 2006, 767-300. Makes me miss Kauai, best place ever!

[confidential247]

it was a boeing 757

[captainntyson]

*757-200

[keola32]

That runway needs to lenthened.

[MMSband737]

Not enough room for more lenthening. Who cares anyway. At least 757's can land at Lihue.

[CarterBoyy227]

When I went there it was on a 767 :)

[ual1565]

Great footage, well done on the pilots part great landing.
