Live From Outer Space
#8
I tried to catch the pass over Hawaii at 4:07 yesterday (5/7). There seems to be a sequence of four cameras that alternate every minute or two; one straight down (the best view), two facing behind the ISS (wide angle), and one aimed forward. So even when the station passes over a particular part of the earth you have to hope the downward facing camera is on at the moment.

I could see the outline of Maui as it passed over, and I think South Point as it approached the Big Island, but just at that moment it switched cameras. You're right Tom, about the possibility of getting a good view of the islands. We not only need a direct flyover, but also the best camera to be on at the moment. I saw some beautiful sunset clouds over Tahiti, however, and amazing snow and ice formations in Alaska and northern Canada.

Sunrise over the Pacific as I type!
