Duane Jefts Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Short notice but 3 members will attend the CT fly in at the Kona, Hawaii airport tomorrow Jan 16 at around noon. For those of you that can not make it I will post a situation report. Safe flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Jefts Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Flew from Barbers Point on Oahu to North shore Molokai, then North shore Maui, then over to the big Island and on down to Kona. Light winds and few white caps on the Ocean today. It was easy to see the whales. Flight was made in the famous CTLS 413F. The gathering consisted of Larry Jefts, Darryl Swenson, Carol Merrifield and Duane Jefts all of which made the Page Fly In this last October. The weather was perfect.

Mike Koerner Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Duane, When you say Barbers Point do you mean Kalaeloa (Rogers) (JRF)? Are you based there? Why do Hawaiian airports have both 3 and 4 letter identifers? How many CT's are based on the islands? Mike Koerner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Jefts Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Kalaeloa will always be Barbers Point to me as I was stationed there in the late 60's and the Coast Guard station is still there. My brother Larry and his son Jonathan have hangar's there. I believe there is one other CT in the Islands based in Kona on the Island of Hawaii. I'm not sure why some airports don't have the ICAO identifier. It must be the IATA code identification system - international vs local designations. Picture of Barbers point Coast Guard Air Station from last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitten192 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Duane, How are the beach cottages at Barbers Point? Last time I checked a few years ago they were pretty run down. Ernie (Retired Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Jefts Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Flew over them and they looked like they were being used but I don't know the condition. The beach looked nice so even a tent would be good. There was lots of folks on that beach. I did take a picture of Waikiki Beach and there were many folks there as well.

Duane Jefts Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Also took pictures of the Arizona Memorial and Punchbowl National Cemetery. Two places I recommend everyone visit. The Arizona is still leaking oil after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandpiper Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 In the 1960's I used to go to the beach At Barbers Point. Beautiful beach and a good way to get away from the crowds at Waikiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
