About two months ago on a Delta flight from SLC to HNL, the approach was unusual from the usual circle over the Ewa plains or the Diamond head Kona wind approach. Instead, the aircraft circumnavigated the entire north shore, did a 90 degree turn at Kaena point and then followed down the Waianae coast like a flight arrival from Asia or Kauai. Needless to say, the left side of the craft saw everything which was incredible since I never got that perspective of the North shore before.
