"(kept their t*sticles in a little mason jar with a flotation collar for 'em... safekeeping you understand... returned them to 'em when they got to Bradshaw)"
Funny you say that... current policy out in Hawaii is no single ship VFR interisland flight. IFR for single aircraft only. Ridiculous. Had a chopper have an gyro break on the way to Maui, they launched two ships VFR to escort the one chopper back on a clear blue day.
The singles (58s) have a harder time... nothing allowed to the other islands unless you are going to Bradshaw for a field exercise. Risk aversion at its finest.
