Actually I've seen many older models with the pointed nose. That was a change made when Hughes was bought out by MD. Many operators have changed the plexiglass to the one piece pointed type.

Well, I found the company on Maui that has the near-Island Hoppers MD500. It's Alex Air.

You can bet your bottom dollar that I will be calling them a week or so before we go to Maui in September. Yippee!! A real ride in as close to Island Hoppers as we can get these days. I'll have on my red parrot shirt and Larry in his black one. MGI has his own red parrot shirt. I'm not so sure Larry will "appreciate" the "doors off" option, but it doesn't bother me. The guy who took that flight and uploaded that picture to Flickr said they were strapped in with five straps -- shoulders, waist, between the legs (like a parachute, I guess). Heck, I did two flights in the Robinson 22 with the doors off with nothing but the lap belt, so . . . I LAUGH at "doors off"!!!! Huh-wa-wa-wa!!!

I am SO corny . . . .

I saw their site Golf. Sorry, hanging out the door firing an UZI while wearing BDUs and a headband wasn't mentioned.

Mike,

OH!!! Hadn't thought of that. Maybe for this flight MGI needs to wear his camos and have his automatic weapon in his hands. His little 1911 handgun wouldn't do any good from a heli. He'll have to steal the weapon from RickGI (see Intro clip for MGI in camos and for the part where RickGI jumps through the window with his automatic weapon ready to fire).

However, Magnum never fired an automatic weapon from TC's heli . . . . maybe I just need to give him his handgun. Whatever . . . I'll take it all. Not like packing clothes and weapons for MGI uses up a lot of space in the luggage!!!! (I wonder if TSA will confiscate MGI's armament . . . . )

(give the lady another drinkie-poo . . . .)

Maybe Rick G.I. can finally have his shot in the sun?

Mike,

You mean I have to pack RickGI too? Oh, lordy, Larry is going to be rolling his eyes at me for the next four months.

Come on, Give Rick G.I. and T.C. G.I. a break. Magnum G.I. gets all the glory.

Okay, ALL the guys can go along. They don't take up much room in the luggage. (But I think I may need to stash 'em in my golf bag and NOT the carry-on! I don't want to see Larry's face when the airport screeners ask me to pull them out and explain them!!!

)

ROTFLMAO

That's classic Golf, but you need a soft drink for TC. I love it!

That's a picture from MGI First Season (you'll notice he doesn't have his parrot shirt, team ring, and Rolex yet) -- TC could have a beer then.

True. You'll have to wsitch him to the softer stuff a little later on.
