Awesome RC! I can't wait to check it out!!rubber chicken wrote:Rubber Chicken Guide to Magnum P.I. Filming Locations, version 1.2, Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays edition.
Included are some special locations that I was quite happy to add, including...
- Two often seen places, the Navel Intelligence Headquarters, and one of the Honolulu Police Department locations.
- The gas station where Magnum gets whooped by the sumo wrestler and a "midget or a dwarf."
- I've also completed eight Walker Estate locations, that may or may not be all of them. It was fun getting to know that fantastic property better.
- But the best new location here has to be Higgins' boyhood home, Hall Barn, dating from 1675 or before. That was a location I was dying to know more about.
This is great! The resolution and clarity around Honolulu is just amazing. Makes you almost feel like you are there!rubber chicken wrote:Also worth noting is that much of the Honolulu area has been updated with new aerial photos. That area can now be zoomed in closer and is much more detailed and clear. It also means some important things from the Magnum world could have been changed or erased, but I haven't noticed anything like that yet.
Great finds! And they are almost right next to each other. Do I want to know how you found the "Gas & Go"? No, probably not....rubber chicken wrote:2.5 - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE HEADQUARTERS

Cool, a maintenance building for the Omega Transmitter Station!rubber chicken wrote:3.11 - "There are about 19 or 20 guys all over 250 pounds, let's go in."
Another Bellows Air Force Station location, this one right smack in the middle of the air field! Love all the info you put in the guide RC. Very interesting history!rubber chicken wrote:5.22 - "Oahu Prison Farm"
Wow, so the total number of episodes to use the Walker Estate is now at 8!rubber chicken wrote:Walker Estate (placemark in Secondary Locations)
Hehe, that one was pretty straight forward, with the ridges and condo building visible in the background. But it took me longer than I think it should have, partly because the gas station structures seen in the show had been torn down and rebuilt.Great finds! And they are almost right next to each other.

I thought so too. Learning about things like this is one reason why I enjoy doing this so much. Searching for Magnum P.I. locations is often just the launching off point on the way to broadening my knowledge of Oahu, which has a combined history unlike any other place in the world. Much of what I come across isn't closely enough related to show to include in placemarks.Another Bellows Air Force Station location, this one right smack in the middle of the air field!

I had my own screen captures reminding me of Walker Estate locations from certain episodes, and I also have to thank you and those who told you of other episodes where the Walker Estate was used. I combined what I already had and the info on your episode pages to come up with that number of episodes. If there are any other episodes where it was used, it may have to wait until I re-watch all the seasons. But this *could* be it.Wow, so the total number of episodes to use the Walker Estate is now at 8!rubber chicken wrote:Walker Estate (placemark in Secondary Locations)
