Flying from Mississippi to Hawaii yesterday it was mostly clear until we got about 300 miles out from the islands. Scattered clouds became a layer at 22k feet that we skimmed across the top of. Checking satellite imagery it turned out to be an extended band from Hurricane Nolo. After crossing through that there were just smaller puffy clouds that looked interesting as we landed as the sun was setting in Kauai.

I am wondering how many people read this and was thinking the same thing.

Kudos to the person being able to afford that personalized flight.

This was my view on a flight from Bozeman to Atlanta a few weeks ago

USAF

Edit: in a Lockheed 130 that’s probably close to a 13 hour flight from Kessler to Lihue

Nice!

A number of my LSU ROTC classmates and C-130 guys that I knew ended up in that squadron.

C-130 from Lihue to Moffett Field is long enough.

Yeah, the guy who took and posted the video is part of the Hurricane Hunters 53d WRS. He's a good Xwittter follow.

Flew from DFW to Albuquerque Tuesday. Flight time was almost 3 hrs instead of normal 1 hr 20 minutes. We had to fly around storms. Flew 960 miles. It’s 568 miles normal flight.
