of these phenomenal 21stcentury aircraft, which reduce noise impact on the ground by 50%. All Blue Hawaiian helicopters are equipped with the latest safety technology, including a state-of-the-art Garmin terrain-mapping system, emergency floats, and high visibility pulse lights. Other features include: air-conditioning; BOSE® noise-canceling headsets and two-way communication between guests and their pilot; custom-recorded music to complement the pilot’s narration; custom upgraded seats and interior décor; and a 4-camera, all-digital DVD video system. Guests can purchase a custom DVD of their flight directly after the tour. For information call 1-800745-BLUE or visit www. BlueHawaiian.com.
