who dat?
#1
So anyone in or around HSRE see/hear/notice that huge airplane that just flew tree tops over at cruising speed? In CA large planes flew low when applying fire retardant and this guy/gal looked like they were headed to a fire, do we have those types of planes here? Thanks.

I didn't notice it. Must've been further down the hill than I am...

Did you see any markings? There are some large propeller driven Navy and Coast Guard weather/radar/search planes that do touch and go landings at Hilo and practice runs around the Big Island. Maybe it was one of them. I don't think the wacky-weed hunters routinely use large planes, so it probably wasn't Green Harvest.

Cheers,
Jerry

I didn't see a plane, but I just saw a lady riding a horse down Kahakai Blvd. Had to do a double-take!

Jerry thanks for the information. Unfortunately by the time I made it out doors the plane was flying away so I did not see any markings and truthfully I couldn't even say if it were prop or jet. Very loud, very low and pretty fast passing over.
Tim a horse huh, I've seen a lot of their cousins (a**e*) but no horses!

I have seen a large plane just inland at Kaloli Point HPP going to the South. Red hatch mark on the tail. 2 engine, and low.
