Depart Kona PHKO, IFR sunset departure to Hilo approach, VFR to eruption area for twilight to dark views (Unforgettable!), IFR pickup and return to Kona! Words cannot describe this and the views are 100x better than the video or pictures! (2.5~3.0 hr)

Aloha and welcome to Hawaii Flight Adventures where visiting pilots can fly and log time in Hawaii with the help of an FAA Certified Flight Instructor/Hawaii tour guide! Safe, Simple, Fun, No Hassles!
My name is Buster Frysinger and I have been flying and sharing Hawaii with visiting pilots for 16 years as an active FAA Certified Flight Instructor (ATP, CFI, CFII, MEI #3340762CFI). I am also a part time commercial air tour/charter pilot with experience in Skyhawks to Citations.
I am truly lucky to have such a rewarding "job" and I can not wait to share it with you!
Benefits of renting an aircraft with a CFII in Hawaii?
*Local Air Tour Traffic Operations (It can get thick!)
*Local Reporting Points, Pronunciation, and Location Knowledge. (So Others Know Where You Are and You Know Where They Are!)
*History, Geology, Geography, and all the best places to see (and eat!) during Your Stay!
*No lengthy, expensive checkout required to cover all of the little things that only apply to Hawaii.
*Your CFI/Guide can take the controls/radios as much or as little as you like for picture taking or any other reason. (Your only job is to enjoy yourself!)
*And many more...
Aircraft:
The Cessna 172, 182, and Cherokee 6x (6seats!)
Cost:
N739HP C-172/N IFR/GPS/Aspen Glass/180hp Mod: $215/hr + tax *Nice!*
N5692J C-182/P Standard "six pack" IFR King Avionics: $CALL/hr + tax(with 235hp you can get your high performance endorsement in paradise!)
Cherokee 6x IFR/Garmin GPS 10/10 300hp CALL/hr +tax Also great for high performance endorsements
Cherokee 6x IFR/Garmin GPS 10/10 300hp CALL/hr +tax Also great for high performance endorsements
NOTE: With 2-3 passengers the prices are less than half of the "helicopter tours" and still far less than "airplane tours" and all on your terms!
What You Get:
Aircraft, Fuel, CFII/Guide, Headsets, Charts, life vests/raft, FUN!
Anywhere in Hawaii! Our most popular flight is around the Big Island(~2.5-3.0hr) but I have flown to all of the islands with visiting pilots. You can see all of the islands in one day and about 6 hours of flying (You need lots of film, memory, and batteries!). We can also visit and land at any public airport in the state. So give me a call today and see Hawaii Your Way with...

Meet at the Kona Airport (KOA, PHKO) at 7:00 for a preflight briefing and a review of weather, NOTAMS etc... along the route of flight.
Today we will be flying across the Hawaiian Island chain for a self guided air tour/cross country that includes:
- Kona KOA, departure
- North east along the Waikoloa coast, major hotels, white sand beaches, lava desert, and coral reefs. upwind to the north east towers 13,796' Mauna Kea and her smaller sister Kohala disturbing the trade wind flow and giving us a few choppy bumps, clear skies, and great views!
- Over head left downwind entry for a touch and go on runway 7 at Upolu Point airport UPP, PHUP. Windy as usual, right down the runway 20kts gusting 30+. Great for short field practice and wind correction technique. Watch for fast moving rain showers coming down the hamakua coast from Hilo, the wettest zip code in the nation!
- Left downwind departure and climb to the northwest next stop Maui. Climb high across the channel to avoid using the raft belted to the back seat and pick up flight following from HCF (Honolulu Center Frequency) just in case! Does the engine sound funny over the water or is it just me? ;)
- Hanna airport arrival is another overhead and left downwind runway 8. the terrain rising precipitously towards the haleakala summit tends to put us high and hot on final, corrections made, stabilized approach by 500 feet and slight crosswind 100/10 kts, no problem. Watch for ultralights, and no comm operations here! ...to be continued!
Hawaii Aircraft Rental: Maui OGG to Kona KOA
We are coming around the south side of Haleakala volcano over the Kihe coast climbing to cross the Alenuihaha Channel for the Big Island.
