First, a very brief story...

This particular flight has been a bit of a challenge for me to complete. I made several attempts, and each time it either
ended abruptly because my FSX crashed, or I had to go into work for some emergency, etc...

Yesterday, all the planets alligned and I managed to pull it off.

Even my wife was encouraging me! :shock:

So, here are some screenies:

Off the coast of California somewhere with the sunrise in the distance.

Descending over Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head.

On short final to Runway 8L with traffic holding.

Complete! Now it's off to the Mai Tai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian.

Nice shots Gregory! Strange how some flights present seemingly insurmountable problems! Makes completing them all the sweeter ;). Welcome to gcva!

She is.

Although I'm certain that there are plenty of times when she just shakes her head at me and says to herself, "idiot".

I loved the photo of the approach with the traffic at the holding short. 8)
