One helo pilot buddy, doesn't own one, and since he's a life flight pilot the bar would have to be pretty high for him to borrow the company ride.

I have an Uncle who has one. Went from a boat, to a Cessna to the helicopter. I think its less expensive to own & operate than the plane. Vietnam Vet, Pharmacist & pretty damn good business man.

Dry side of the island. Volcano there is dormant unlike the one on the east side. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: T.C.’s bio per wiki Mosley is a licensed private helicopter pilot in real life, but when on the set of Magnum P.I. he was not allowed to do his own stunts; a pilot wearing a body stocking with false muscles would be used instead.[ And if you look closely at some of the shots of him flying you can tell he's actually in the back seat with a fake stick. Always thought it was cool he was actually rated though. Insurance ruins everything. |

I used to know a buncha jet pilots, and a couple of them owned their own Cessnas, but no helo pilots. These days, I have no friends, so if I need to be airlifted anywhere, I'll have to hijack someone with a helo and no common sense.

Nope, but some guy who likes our marina restaurant uses the condo side yard as his personal helipad.
I tried putting up a pic somebody used of it for the their real estate MLS, but it has a WEBP suffix that will save but won't post. Lots of pics lately using that tag. How do I convert it to a JPG? |
