Does anyone know anything about Kapalua Airport (JHM), on the
island of Maui ? Both the Hawaiian website and MS Flight
Simulator mention it but the AOPA claims it doesn't exist.
Does it have an FBO for planes for rent ?

Yes, I know I could go to Kahului, but that's an hour drive
and Kapalua will be right across the street from the hotel.

Last year, I stayed in Kaanapali area, and drove to Kapalua airport.
It looks like a nice airport, but it is quiet, and there is definitely
not an FBO. Unless things have changed in the last year, you will not
be able to rent planes there. Also, the sectional I have indicates
that it is a private field. I think there are a few commercial
flights (island hops), but that is it.

I rented a 172 from mauiaviators and flew around the islands with an
instructor. It was beautiful, and well worth the trip to Kahului.

Have fun.
