After a few days in St. Maarten it was time to head for my last stop of spring break,  Honolulu, Hawaii.  I heard of an A340-500 on a few test hops before delivery.  It happened to be heading my direction.  After talking to the pilot he said they could take me along for the ride so we loaded up and headed out.

Holding short of the runway.

Tower was afraid we were going for a swim but proved wrong when the massive bird lifted into the air.
...
Turning to avoid the mountains.
...
Heading for Honolulu.
...
About half way there.
...
Making our way for the 8L aproch.
...
On final.

Touchdown.  Its been a long 11 1/2 hours but we made it.  Im heading for a hotel and then the beach.  But as of Saturday morning Im heading back home.
