Missing hikers airlifted from Wahiawa trail

Honolulu firefighters located three missing hikers today after they were reported overdue from their hike at Wahiawa Loop Trail.

At approximately 9 p.m. Monday, firefighters responded to a report of lost hikers in their 30s — two men and one woman — after they were reported overdue from their hike, which they started at noon that day, according to Honolulu Fire Capt. Kevin Mokulehua in a news release.

The fire department’s Air 1 helicopter and firefighters conducted an air and ground search before suspending their operation at 11:45 p.m.

Firefighters resumed their search at dawn today when crews aboard the helicopter spotted the hikers in a riverbed about a mile from the trailhead at approximately 7:19 a.m. Mokulehua said.

The trio were flown out of the area, Mokulehua said. No injuries were reported.

    That’s no hike to start after noon. Bozos.

    Should have let them walk out the last mile. No one hurt no need to chopper them out.
