The sun's rays cuts through clouds over Honolulu as we climb out in a US Air Force Boeing C-17A Globemaster III. I was invited to go on a media flight during the 2010 RIMPAC exercises, in which we would perform an air drop over the Pohakuloa Training Range on the Big Island. For the departure out of HNL, I was selected to sit in one of the jumpseats in the cockpit. The C-17 must have one of the roomiest flight decks around!
We had some rain showers as we taxied from the Hickam ramp to the Reef Runway, and can see more rain in today's photo.
