Conch Shell

Kahu Danny Akaka Jr blows a conch shell during a pre-boarding blessing before Hawaiian Airlines inaugurated a new route. Kahu Akaka is the son of the late US Senator Daniel Akaka, and is the Kahu Hānai at the Auberge Mauna Lani Resort in Kailua-Kona.

A couple of decades ago, I videotaped a few Japanese tourist weddings in which Kahu Akaka was the officiant, and he also performed the blessing of the Aloha Airlines 737 that was painted by Wyland.
