to further explain PaulWs response:
Hilo`s ITO field is used for pilot touch-n-gos hours from our Pacific fleet pilots...
Often the same plane will do multiple TnGs series with multiple pilots...
So if there was a lag of ~5-10 minutes (to fly around & reset landing approach) it most likely was the routine TnGs
If they were more frequent (a minute or few spaced) & you could hear the engines power down, could be asset spacing for the storm..
