Sorry, thats just me being silly.

No--you're not silly!
(I loved the original Thunderbirds, BTW. I still have the theme music tucked away in my head to this day.)
My original thread-starting post contained an extensive plot summary. This script of mine is a romantic comedy with strong fantasy element (like "Bruce Almighty"). The chopper pad is tentatively going to be a former military helipad from a former military base that USED TO BE in the area but has since shut down. And the chopper itself is a news helicopter that is flying in to this small town in order to cover the town's Centennial celebration.
No evil genius with secret lairs atop remote an impenetrable mountains. (That's ANOTHER script I have in my files.
)
