How close would Hawaii have to be for pilots to vacation there in light
airplanes?


Why do you ask? Have you discovered a way to move the islands?

I'd love it if the Hawaiian islands were closer to here. But I'm afraid the
weather might change if you relocate them. They might not be such a
desirable vacation location after such a big move.

Maybe you should rethink this idea of yours...

Maybe we could just move California closer to Hawaii.

And wreck Hawaii from the stench of California?

Current weather in Hilo: 72F, but a bit cloudy...

I used to know a couple of folks who flew C-177s over there; they did fly solo and it did take ~24 hours...

Ferry flights you know...

Are you planning to move it?

Not close enough, but gives you a good reason to buy a bigger plane, you
know a christmas present.
