Aerial Photo Day

My last day of 2013 was a day off... but I went in anyway for my annual Robinson R22 helicopter ride and an aerial photo tour of the Kona Airport. It's holiday time of course and the well-heeled folk are here for warm weather celebrations in numbers once again. I counted about 51 private and leased jets on the ground today... not the largest number we've ever seen this time of year, but respectable none the less.

Happy New Year, Everyone! And good fortunes to you all in 2014!
