O`ahu, Hawaii - Flight over the Ko'olau Saddles (GoPro POV)

The flight plan had us depart Kalaeloa Airport in Barbers Point, perform a "touch and go" on the same runway before departing to the northeast towards Kalihi Valley. From there we buzzed the Kalihi saddle and popped out on the windward side where we turned around and performed another fly by of the Kalihi saddle once again before turning towards the Nu'uanu saddle and buzzing that. We continued on the windward side of the Ko'olau cliffs, doing a fly by of Piliwale and Bear Claw Ridges. Olomana was next, coming within hundreds of feet of Ahiki before heading in the direction of the Haiku Stairs, buzzing Nu'uanu and Kalihi saddle once more. While flying over the Stairway to Heaven, we noticed someone climbing up the stairs. My pilot honked (the plane was equipped with a horn) but the climber did not respond. We then flew over the Moanalua Saddle back to central O`ahu where we flew over the Kunia pineapple fields before heading back to Kalaeloa Airport to conclude our epic flight!

Mahalo nui loa to Brian (my pilot and owner of the plane) for giving me an opportunity to see the Ko'olaus in which I've hiked numerous times from many parts of the mountain range, from a perspective never viewed before personally!

Can you find the climber on Stairway to Heaven? =)
