Soar silently over Oahu's North Shore in a piloted sailplane, taking in panoramic views of the coast and mountains.
Description
Operating continuously out of Dillingham Airfield since 1970, Honolulu Soaring relies entirely on rushing wind and rising air once unhooked aloft. The lineup spans scenic flights for one or two passengers alongside specialty hands-on and aerobatic flights, with formal flight instruction also available. Along the way, pilots break down the mechanics of unpowered flight as the aircraft skirts coastal ridgelines, where passengers can scan the water below for passing fish and whales.
