Heavily edited (cut) of a Litchi flight of Rabbit Island on Oahu, Hawaii, windward side. The flight from the coast to the island is round 4000' and around the island and back around 15000' with minimal trade winds that day. On the far side of the island is a big flat tide pool surface area, very interesting... here is the story of Rabbit Island...
Some may think this island has the nickname Rabbit Island because its shape looks like a rabbit’s head. But peopled called it that because the island was once inhabited by, you guessed it, rabbits. The island’s true name is Manana which means buoyant in Hawaiian. John Adams Kuakini Cummins once tried to raise rabbits on the island in the 1880s. Cummins was a prominent member of the Hawaiian royalty. He also ran a nearby sugar plantation in Waimanalo. As one would expect from rabbits, they multiplied so profusely it threatened the fragile ecology of the island. So in 1994, the rabbits were completely eradicated from the island. The island now serves as a seabird wildlife sanctuary.
