Open Door Kauai 'Copter, 4000' over Napali Coast

[Rusty Heap]

My Quick short 2 minute video.

The Napali Coast and Waimea Canyons of Kauai. My first helicopter ride ever. Check one off the Bucket List.

Just the Pilot, Wife, and I. Go Pro's and Nikon Running.

Always tip your pilot $50 cash right before lift off. Cash Karma pays forward for a spirited ride.

So we made it a doors off, soaring over vast 1000 feet deep waterfall carved canyons and rugged and wild ancient 4000 foot tall shear ocean cliffs of Napali Coast.

Mai Tai?

Beauty! I've hiked both of those.

Very nice!

I spent six weeks flying out of the old Barking Sands Naval facility supporting the weapons systems testing on the third Aegis Class Cruiser, CG-51, the Valley Forge.

I got to hike the coast and flew the canyons nearly every day. This was in the mid to late 1980's so I have no digital memories!

More fun than man can stand...

Cool video Rusty! You got a great day to be out flying, a lot of blue skies , heavily flowing waterfalls, surf on the coast, beautiful.

I was blessed to spend many years working on the coast driving charter boats, camping and exploring the more remote valleys, fishing and surfing the secluded spots etc. have lived about a mile from the eastern end of Na Pali for nearly 30 years in Haena.
I love that area and the powerful Mana it radiates.

Thanks for the nice video. I'm glad others can have a peek.
