If you look at the full-size version of this highly detailed image, you can see a pair of small planes in flight heading northeast over the north side of Ford Island. (Their shadows are also visible on the ground.) They appear over the sandy area roughly midway between the Old BOQ and New BOQ just before the shoreline, at the left of the photo.
