I'm out here in Oahu all week, and my friend keeps getting on my case about getting an airplane and flying around the island or over to Maui. She used to fly, but then got into the Naval Academy, and wasn't selected for a pilot position. So, whenever we get together, we try to go fly. But since she's been out here, I'm not checked out, so it's really difficult!
I checked out the biplane rides up at Dillingham Field, but for $300 each that's a bit out of our price range. I've been thinking maybe gliders, which is cheap, and we've both flown the SGS-33A which they have here before. But if I could find something powered in the $100 an hour range, that would be best! We just want to cruise VFR for an hour or two. I don't know how extensive the check-outs up here are. Plus, she's military, but I'm the pilot, so I think military flying clubs are out of the question.
Any ideas?
