The payoff for living in one of the rainiest cities in the world, is that we also get the cleanest air and clearest skies found anywhere on the planet. Friday, January 26 was one of those rare afternoons. No wind, no clouds, in 80 degree temperatures…. A view of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Puu oo, Onomea and Hilo Bay even Kapohoo, with whales breaching by the dozens. Darren Campbell, Kirk Deffebach and myself launched from my front yard, playing in the afternoon skies until our fuel tanks dwindled. A quick refuel, then up again beneath the rising moon, flying until the sun faded behind the mountain.
