Joe Moore, center, was joined by cast members Don Stroud, left, Terence Knapp, David Farmer and George O'Hanlon in front of a World War II B-25 "Mitchell" bomber at the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island on June 9. The occasion was the kickoff party for Moore's summer production of "Prophecy & Honor," to star Moore in a revised version of his 1993 play about U.S. Army Air Force Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell. The general was court-martialed in 1925 for refusing to keep quiet about the importance of a strong, modern air force in defending the United States (the B-25 was later named in his honor). "Prophecy & Honor" opens Aug. 16 at Hawaii Theatre. CLICK FOR LARGE

Master chef Martin Yan chatted with Leslie Wilcox, left, Hazel Theodore and Jane Kakii on June 9 after taping his "Yan Can Cook" show at the Servco showroom in Mapunapuna. The audience saw Yan cut a slice of red pepper so thin that when he stuck it on the bottle he was holding, the Chinese characters on the label could be read through it. Yan's fans enjoyed three special dishes, and many got his autograph on their "Martin Yan Free & Easy" cookbooks. CLICK FOR LARGE
