| Turning final (3) | Vectored to heading 210 - another plane is landing | Turning around again - cleared to land as long as I stay away from that runway (that means I'll be landing on the left hand part of the ramp) |
|
|
|
| Approaching the ramp - 2.8 nm out, ETA 10 minutes! | Behind me Eddy is on final approach to PHOG | |
|
|
|
| I've been on the approach long enough for the wind to change... I'll have to take extra care to avoid the runway | ||
|
|
|
| The headwind is still helping me keep the blimp under control as I glide towards the ramp at 5 knots relative to the ground | ||
|
|
|
| Slowing down further - on one side I have to avoid the terminal buildings and on the other one the active runway | Touching down at PHOG | Airship successfully landed and parked |
|
|
|
| Switched to a Mesa Airlines B1900, planning to go on a tour of Hawaii | Rod lands on runway 02... | ...followed by a Podcraft a few minutes later! |
|
|
|
| There are planes landing every couple of minutes | Starting engines | Ready to taxi - awaiting clearance |
|
|
|
| Taxiing to hold short runway 02, #2 in line for takeoff | Waiting for takeoff clearance | Cleared for takeoff, rolling |
|
|
|
| The takeoff from PHOG (1) | The takeoff from PHOG (2) | The takeoff from PHOG (3) |

|
| Quite a busy airport - another aircraft has already taken off | ||
