After spending a few days in SFO, I jumpseated back to HNL on UA. I love jumpseating on UA because I have never had a problem with them and the crews and staff are really great. My departure was on a UA 777-200
Here were are departing SFO/KSFO on the San Francisco Eight Departure.
San Francisco is in the distance with the peak of San Bruno Mountains just over the F/O shoulder
With San Francisco behind us, we continue our westward climbout over the Pacific Ocean
After five hours over the Pacific, the north east shore of Oahu comes into view. Here's a view of Marine Corps Base Hawaii in the foreground and Kaneohe Bay. Off in the distance is Kahaluu, Kualoa and Kaaawa.
Passing just east of HNL/PHNL on the MAGGI3 arrival
Turning base for a visual to RWY 08L. The Ewa plains in front of us
Power set. Flaps extended. Gear down and locked. Landing checklist complete. 08L in front of us. Almost home
Back home in HNL!
Thanks to the crew of Flt 73!
