Summary
A passenger flying from Molokai to Maui with Mokulele Airlines had a terrifying moment when she spotted a mysterious “white something” near the plane—she’s convinced it was a drone. Already anxious about her upcoming eye surgery, the sighting sent her into panic. Pilots reacted swiftly, veering the plane to avoid the object. Though Mokulele has no official record of a near miss, the incident underscores rising drone safety concerns in Hawaii’s busy airspace, where military bases and airports coexist. Drone operators are urging everyone to follow FAA rules—like staying in your own lane—to keep skies safe for all aircraft.
