]]> Comment on Over Pacific to Hilo, Hawaii by Steve Pellettiere https://flyforthecure.org/over-pacific-to-hilo-hawaii/#comment-4898 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 12:54:02 +0000 https://flyforthecure.org/?p=8899#comment-4898 It is great to hear about Ed and Zvi’s experience of crossing from the South Pacific, over the equator and into the central Pacific at Hilo Hawaii during a grueling 15 1/2 hour flight! From a weather perspective, the first 2/3 of the flight we’re basically weather free except for passing clouds from time to time, some areas of rain for an hour or two and in and around the Hawaiian islands. Of greater concern was the grueling headwinds, although not directly on the head of the aircraft but quartering just so to make it all the more interesting. All this considering our two pilots we’re sharing a 4 foot width by 4 foot high space in the cockpit. That fact alone demands preparation and knowledge. Our aviators worked with personal trainers in order to utilize techniques of keeping the circulation going in a proper fashion. Just consider for yourself what it would be like to sit in that small of a space for that long of a period of time. It ain’t easy!

We’ve got another long flight coming up, and the winds aloft are not favorable again. But the ability to carry the extra fuel, and their training we’ll get them across the Pacific and to California on Wednesday-Thursday. It’s November now, and the weather is starting to act up so we’ll be dealing with strong northerly winds along the California coast and some cold temperatures aloft.

Great to see more folks leaving comments and good wishes here on the blog! Keep it up and check in often…
