Blue Hawaiian helicopters (N11QM) is seen passing a U.S. Navy WW II radio station atop the Ko'olau mountains. The "Stairway To Heaven" is the popular name for the Haiku stairs near Kaneohe, Oahu Hawaii. The top isn't often seen as there are usually clouds around the peaks of the mountains. There are a set of stairs that people still do occasionally climb, although doing so is illegal and relatively harsh penalties are often times handed out, after a mandatory visit to the Honolulu County "Hilton". Within five minutes of flying past the summit in our helicopters, the cloud cover had enveloped the top of the mountains.

The photo is of the beach near the Halona blowhole and the famous lava tube is directly behind the photo. This is a beautiful a lightly visited location, as it requires scaling a couple hundred foot of large lava rocks. The lava rock deterrent is enough to preserve the serenity of this spectacular location. If only this beach and lava tube could tell stories, it would have many fascinating ones to tell. A couple famous visitors to this location include Elvis and Priscilla Presley, who reportedly loved this site.
The dream of many. If only to escape the hustle and bustle and to have a job where one could ride a bicycle to a Hawaiian beach.
