What made you get a helicopter? Like, like, was it just to make money or was it because you want to get from city to city fast?
Number one, because I want to get to city to city fast. Because me and my business partner trail, we used to always complain, like, why are we sitting in traffic? Why don't we just get a helicopter? You know what I mean? Because, you know, LA traffic is like crazy. So we would just think about that. And so I just pulled the trigger. And also, like I said, it's cheap to like the maintenance is super cheap as far as like putting in a hanger and stuff like that where PJ costs like hundreds of thousand dollars for, you know, for storing it and then millions of dollars for maintenance and stuff like that. So it just made more sense to make money faster with the helicopter as far as, like, it's being affordable too. You know, people do tours every day, especially in New York, okay?
