You lift off from Kahului under a wide Pacific sky, the heli’s rotors pulling you away from tarmac and into a landscape that pushes and folds—rainforest ridges rise like old walls, the Pailolo Channel threads between islands, and Molokaʻi’s sea cliffs stand as raw, vertical geology daring the ocean to erode them.
