And here I misspelled it...

It's Kaumana Caves!

I'm any event, it was cool. Like REALLY cool

I've been in Hawaii (Big Island) for the past few days. It's the first time I've ever gone spelunking. Here's a few from Kamanu Caves (close to Hilo)

Like always, pictures don't even begin to describe how cool it is to explore an old lava tube

I got asked what the hell I was doing making a series of 90⁰ turns

"I'm taking pictures!"

It keeps getting closer and closer with every new version!

They were designed & built to fulfill nearly the same role as the Beaver...just more size/muscle/carrying capacity. Kinda like comparing a Chevy 2500 to a 5500

de Havilland Canada's original name for the Otter was actually supposed to be the "King Beaver"

This looked way too cool not to take a photo/share with people here

So I'm back in Alaska... temporarily anyway! Slinging mail/freight for another couple weeks

...In the big machine (the Turbine Otter), where you're only 10% pilot!

The remaining 90%: Longshoreman

It's a 3/4-ton pickup truckwith wings. You won't be flying one to get anywhere quick...but it'll get you almost anywhere

6 full-grown adults can fit into *my* Beaver

On a good day, it'll see 95 knots...but it's a thirsty one--it consumes 25 gallons per hour during normal operation. Plenty of lubrication is required too! 5 gallons of oil for optimum performance

This... This has been me. Since almost forever

And I've never been able to put it into words as accurately and completely as you just did

Pick your flavor. Either way, they kinda suck

O'Hare airport is nothing if not consistent

Consistently -delayed-, but consistent nevertheless

I never tried that. I'm always afraid it'll come out too grainy

And I'm too late to try it anymoreβ€”looks like it's ended in the area I'm in right now (Wisconsin)

One more from directly overhead. Beats any kaleidoscope I've ever looked through!

Old-school paint job! That's how it would have looked when it rolled off the assembly line way back in 1977

I've always loved that scheme

It wouldn't surprise me if nobody remembers that I have my own just-for-fun airplane. The last time it flew was 2.5 years ago

But it's -finally- back in the airβ€”restored to the point where it's effectively a brand-new machine

It's hard to describe how happy I am to have it back in the air

If there's one benefit to all this rain we've been getting lately, it's the vast number and size of the waterfalls it generates

The photo hardly does it justice

If you see this, repost with a game that released the year you were born
