Nice plan, but watch out because there's the Bradshaw Airport which is a restricted area. If you want to go to Hilo you must approach it northside. So you can go heading 95 at the Lanai VOR until you don't cross the radial 145 of the Hilo VOR, then flight on it toward the runway, but you should go through a circling approach. You can also pass through the Upolu Point VOR, anyway pay attention because there's a minimum safe altitude of 25,000 feet... you know, airplanes are not that into high mountains...

Some body's been boning up on real world approach procedures on the Oahu.
Any body else know about The Bradshaw restriction besides the usual suspect?
