A small, simple and very enjoyable Hawaiian network

OK Air remains poorly documented, but its 1979 timetable is enough to create a pleasant Hawaiian flight plan.

The routes link Honolulu, Lihue, Kahului and Princeville. It is a short, scenic plan for a light single, with plenty of water, terrain and visual approaches.

Flying notes

  • Choose clear weather to enjoy terrain and water colors.
  • Distances are short, but wind can make the approaches lively.
