Kaho‘olawe


A view of the island of Kaho‘olawe from 13,000 feet. This island had been used by the military as a target platform, but has been returned to the State of Hawai‘i. It is undergoing a clean-up process of unexploded ordinance and hazardous materials.

This photo was taken during the go! media preview flight (YV1200) this past June, on Bombardier CRJ200ER, N693BR. All four islands of Mau‘i County are visible in this shot. The island of Lana‘i is in the upper left, the island in the upper center is Moloka‘i, and the island of Mau‘i on the upper right of Kaho‘olawe.
