Absolutely. Honestly I used to think Miami was the 3rd best skyline in the USA, but having now seen HNL, I think HNL has the third best skyline - at least in terms of numbers, grouping, and density. Depending how important one may qualify height, one may or may not agree.

Tulsa, Oklahoma is another impressive one for a city its size.
The Skylines of Tulsa Oklahoma (Metro 955,000) and Little Rock Arkansas (Metro 840,000) and let's not ever forget Des Moines Iowa
(Metro 650,000) And Honolulu Hawaii (Metro 955,000) Really blew my
socks OFF........

I'm going to give a mention to Midland, Texas. For a city of only 100,000, it has a very impressive skyline.
This picture is from a few miles outside the city.

For some reason, just looking at that big ugly white building puts me in a bad mood.
