Hi everybody, new poster here!

Anyway, I'm planning a trip to Hawaii this coming May, and of COURSE I'm interested in the Chopper tour! I did email Paradise, and they said that The Chopper is the primary vehicle for tours out of Turtle Bay, and barring mechanical or "unforeseen" problems, that's what I'd be flying in. So do any of you who've done the flight have any advice for me before I do my actual booking?

Of course I'll be doing a lot of other Magnum-related sightseeing on that trip, but I guess that's for another thread, lol.

Here's a great video clip of the new MPI chopper in action. The video quality on this is amazing. At the :54 mark you get a wonderful shot of the chopper flying by the Estate.

Yes indeed, great find JJ.......The only thing missing was the opening theme music.........(looked like Roger was holding the control stick and was even given credit as one of the pilots)

That looks awesome! I have a tour booked in May, and it includes flying over Robin's Nest, so hopefully it's as great in person as it looks from that video.

Haha they came tantalisingly close to showing the estate at the 0:48sec mark on this clip.
