Blue Hawaii has started using their new model called ECOSTAR? I saw one leaving Hilo Airport the other day. I have to say it is much more quiet than the others. About 6-8 months back down behind greenlake mountain in Kapoho, there was a black one hovering around. My friend and I actually pulled over to watch because we heard nothing from inside the car while this thing was hovering right above the canopy. Any other copter would be deafening at that height. Had no markings or numbers and yes, completely black. We looked at each other like is this really happening?
Long story short, it was nice to see on the news that soon after that sighting of this mysterious black heli, that Blue Hawaii Oahu was putting into service that very model we saw down in Kapoho except a very nice blue color. Now in Hilo. I believe these will be a welcome change as far as noise is concerned once the whole fleet is replaced.
