THE PILOT LIFE // 2 DAY TRIP : MAUI HI

Join along for a 2 day trip from Seattle to Maui. With a 24 hour layover, I rented a car to hit up some of my favorite places to check out in Kihei. The flight to Maui is just under 2,500 nautical miles and took a little over 5 hours both ways. Smooth flight all the way across the ocean which is always makes the people happy:)

Another good trip with a great First Officer in the books!

My wife and I just got back from Maui and we tried out all 3 of the places you recommended, and they were fantastic. We even stayed in Kihei at an awesome hotel that is just around the corner to the food truck. I’m not a pilot or don’t work at any airline. Just an ordinary person who loves Maui and your video showed up a Maui search. Thank you and I’m now a follower.

Thank you for commenting. The reason I watch and view your page is for encouragement. I am in pursuit of obtaining my private pilot license and to become an regional first officer commercial airline pilot. I've been in transportation for over 25 years. I started this journey in 2017. And it has been very interesting learning about aviation. Currently, studying for FAA written test. Thank you again for everything. You are my Inspiration. To become a commercial airline pilot.

Just found your videos. Real world awesome were the words that came to mind! Thank you for sharing your job with us.

I have family near Eugene. I recognized that airport in a heartbeat. I may work with you if the merger goes thru. 😊

Many thanks for the video and channel! Despite my old age, I still want to make it someday in the cockpit of an airliner. Doing this in the US is even greater. Thanks again and greetings from France

As someone who loves using flightsim as a tool to keep me proficient with IFR procedures. I really like how you added that to the vlog. Really nice touch

I live on Maui, in Kihei, and really enjoy landing back here. It is more often than not a little bumpy on the way in and great fun.

Just found your channel, it’s great!!

I fly the 777 here in Canada, been looking at getting down to the states for a while now but it’s pretty tough. You seem incredibly genuine which is nice to see in these types of videos… would love an opportunity to be part of your crew one day!
Safe flying

[Launchpad]

I'm curious how you do rental cars. Do you plan way ahead or book last minute, what's your favorite rental car agency? Thanks for another great video!

Stew's Burgers in Kihei is awesome if you like grass fed beef burgers!!

Thanks for a fantastic vlog. Watching from Australia. I am new to your channel and love it. Your sit down chats are great as well. I also watch from your company and same base i'm 99% sure, Alyssa Stauffer vlogs are wonderful also. Perhaps there is potential for one together. Perhaos a silly idea. Rob

I had a flight awhile back with a 2 day layover in Hawaii and used that time to catch a really nice Marlin.
Some of the best fishing in the world is Hawaii.

It's actually called "Secret Beach".
