"Are you saying the professional tour helicopter pilots here can't fly in IFR conditions?"
I suppose some of them are IFR qualified but to fly IFR they would have to file a flight plan and be under positive radar control.
Flying VFR they are required to maintain visual contact with the shoreline and the surface.Hard to do that most afternoons when there is usually a band of clouds just off shore.
