Aircraft Rental

Recommend Tropicbird Flight School if you are wanting to rent an aircraft while on the Big Island. They have great aircraft including a 182; a G1000 172 and Diamond 120. Call Mike or Ashley to reserve an aircraft. Spectacular island flying!

Graet Views Tough Landings

This little airport on the very northwest tip of the big island is probably one of the most challenging landings in Hawaii. Expect a lot of turbulence on approach. A wind farm is adjacent to the airport -- go figure why they built an airport here... No based aircraft or fuel. Enjoy!

Get place to eat just a mile away from the airport -- Seaside Restaurant; on Kalanianaole Ave. Great seafood, a local favorite.

New Restaurant

Coming soon is a new restaurant on the mezzanine level of the terminal. I was going to try it out -- but it was not opening until the following week. Looks like you'll have a great view of incoming traffic, you will be able to eat inside in the AC or outside on the lanai. On the south border of the airfield is a great walk-in pilot shop where you can buy just about anything you need.

Fly In To The Beach

If you have a day to kick around... great location to fly the family to the beach. Park your aircraft, load up the beach chairs and walk across the highway to the beach. Check the weather carefully as winds make it difficult to land here. Not attended and no services available.

Call Ahead

You should call ahead before flying in... no fuel available. Weather changes quickly -- no ASOS. Must register to park overnight, but stay is limited. No services available.

FBO Services

Stopped here at Landmark Aviation -- staff were extremely friendly. Free crew car available if you call ahead. Fuel a little pricey...

Fly In For Seafood

Anywhere in the vicinity... stop in here for fuel and fish. They'll give you a short ride into town to eat at Barbara Jeans Restaurant. Unbelievable value... you'll have to recheck your weight and balance after doing lunch at this place. They also have cheap self service fuel. Highly recommended.
