Not sure if it was a revenue flight, charter, or repo flight. I'm told there is a lot of terrain in the area, nice job getting it down after dark!

Kudos. Single engine at night is not my definition of fun.

Engine problems? With a PT6? Heaven forfend! A harbinger of the end times, forsooth.

Looks like a revenue flight.

Considering the darkness and how curvy the roads in Maui can be, that was no easy task. Kudos to the crew!

That part of highway is probably also the only straight stretch too, great job!

Are there de-ice boots on that thing? I bet that switch collects dust.

They keep those for the Alaskan pilots, just to not make them miss home.

well done!

"None of the 10 people on board was injured . . ."

This is bothering me immensely.

All grammar aside, great job by the pilot!

When I was flying the dash there I was surprised how much we used it.

I think there were 2 fatals in 208's last year due to powerplant failure.

Actually, I'm fairly certain this is grammatically correct, even though it doesn't sound like it.

Re-phrase the sentence like this, "Not one of the ten people on board was injured" and you can see why.

No doubt. A big wiki wiki mini ha ha (or whatever they say out there) and a bilo o' grog to the crew. I like it when pilots do it right.

I think the leading edges are painted black to give you that impression....

Wait, mokulele is different than pacific wings isn't it?

Amflight blew 2 pt-6's during my stint there. Only 1 TIO-540.
Why do people continue to believe the myth that turbines don't fail? They do all the time.
Give me a twin!

I was most impressed with white-boy newsmans pronunciation.
