Taken onboard Hawaiian Airlines Flight 382 to Hilo on December 22, 2009. Clip includes approach to Hilo International Airport from the Keaukaha side, landing and taxi to the terminal. Like the previous Hilo landing video, this one is noisy due to the fact that I can't change the sound levels in my video camera. So basically the sound sucks.
not the most exciting vid, but it reminds me of my first landing in hilo (on a united airlines dc-8, if you can believe it). what came after changed my life forever, for the better, i can assure you. even before the cabin door was opened, even before we landed, i could smell the "tropical aroma"; heady stuff for a kid from the lower east side of nyc.
thanks for posting.
