By the time you call Hilo for a chopper and the pilots suit up, the chopper is checked, then fly down to Puna, a good 1/2 hour or more has already passed. And then, where's the Puna Helicopter Landing Pad? Down at the Intersteller Multi-use Landing Facility near Uncle Roberts?
If there is ever a meeting held about helicopter flyover noise, I bet this guy shows up to complain about choppers.
