Today Minus Five

5 years ago today, this was my view out the window of a classic old Aloha Airlines 737 as we taxied in to the terminal at Lihue on Kauai.

That mauka ridge to the rear in the distance looks totally benign, but in the 5 years since this picture was taken several people in tour helicopters have crashed into it within a 5 mile radius.
