If you do manage to get around to it, please do. I'd love to hear if this is possible, or even safe (that is, without ear plugs).

In my spare time, I'm a big fan of parking my car at the lot out by the end of Lagoon Drive and watching the heavys take off. I think this hike would be a very interesting trip.

If you stay within the fenced area, you're not theoretically trespassing... right?
Update: Due to the 9/11 terrorist attack, Lagoon Drive is now restricted access which is controlled by the State of Hawaii Sheriff. Now, only authorized employees, business customers, aircraft owners/operators based at the hangars, or those with permission are allowed entry.
Of course, this is no longer true...
