    Flying GA in Hawaii

    Back around 2004 (when I was still working on my PPL), I reserved a couple of flights w/CFI out of PHNL. Granted, you're departing a different airport but the HNL controllers were very accommodating to VFR traffic. First flight was past Waikiki/Diamond Head/Koko head/Windward side, etc to the...

    It would occur to me that OKC would be more concerned with the OCD/OC-P-D diagnosis.

    Portable A/C

    We use an Arctic Air in the Diamond (aka the Flying Greenhouse) with reasonably good results. We don't get the frequent three-figure temps as in AZ, but it gets plenty stifling in the 80s-90s with high humidity. The fan and blower motors are remotely switched from the panel, which is convenient.

    So, uhh... wow? (pilot in class Bravo without clearance, McCarran)

    What kills me was his apparent inability to copy a ten-digit number was attributed to "I'm flying." Woe be tithed if he's asked to copy an amended routing.
