Large plane flying low over HPP on Thursday

[Jimbo2017]

This was on the BIISC facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/UHBIISC/ - "HEADS UP! On Wednesday (Oct 3) our Rapid Ohi'a Death EDRR team will be conducting aerial surveys, via helicopter, in Hilo and Upper Puna. The info we collect during these flights helps BIISC and our partners to understand the changes in the forest and develop strategies for forest resilience. We apologize for any disturbance! If you see our team in the air, please give us a friendly wave :-)"

They also use the Carnegie Plane for forest surveys. https://cao.carnegiescience.edu/
