Marvel at military airplanes such as the C-17 Globemaster III and F-22 Raptor; as well as the tilt-rotor V22 Osprey and Black Hawk helicopter, in addition to commercial aircraft such as the B717, B737, B747, and the unique B757 version of Air Force One.

N53725, this upside down Cessna 172 was once mine. I sold it in 2004. Since then she has had a few different owners. On this training flight, while practicing take offs and landings, the engine apparently quit on short approach to Kahului airport. The pilot chose to ditch in a pond short of the runway. The plane flipped on landing. There were three people in the plane and all got out with no injuries!
