We loved the canal boat series with them. "I have control Prue, this is a tight bend". Bang, scrape. "Oh bugger!"

Thinking film location. Maybe: King Kong (1976) – The second production of King Kong was shot on Kauai’s Na Pali Coast in 1976 with Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges. Correct. Honopu Arch and beaches. I have landed there for a movie shoot, and a helicopter has flown through the arch many years ago. It...

Hawai'i?
G~Man did fly there.

PP
Yes I did for 7 years.

It is Hawaii but given the significance of the location, I think it needs narrowing down a bit more.

Speaking of (pending) baseless lawsuits, it appears the Democrats have hired 5,000 lawyers. Just to be fair, it would appear that both sides have done similar: https://www.law.com/nationallawjournal/2024/10/29/the-big-law-firms-and-lawyers-leading-election-legal-battles/?slreturn=20241105152059 Dem...

My boss has ...

Never approached ATH from this angle before.
Perfect, 90% of the time, helicopters approach airports at a 90 degree angle to the runways and cross mid-field for a 270 deg or direct landing on the ramp.
