I posted this in Oahu forum but figured many pilots resides among other islands so i'm also posting it here. I'm very interested in learning the inter-island flying experiences and what to watch out for.

I'm a pilot and own a little cessna 150. I've looked up info online and seems that Kapolei is the main GA airport. I flew in/out of PDK in Atlanta which is a very busy GA airport w/ tower so I'm ok with ATC stuff. The plane rental seems to be comparable to Georgia ($130 wet for an old 172 or DA-20 here, $80 for 150) and CFI rate is even cheaper ($40 vs. $50+ here in Atlanta) I'm curious if there is a flying club that you can recommend and what's the flying weather like there. I also noticed several flight schools are located right at HNL, that's pretty awesome to land in parallel w/ a jumbo jet in a cessna and listen to the tower to tell the jumbos to watch for "prop wash".

I'm not a pilot so can't help you on most of your questions but as a former long time resident of Hawaii I'd suggest you hone your flying in high wind conditions.
