Interesting that the helo travels un-assembled (no rotor blades...)

Wonder how they get the runabout down off the fourth level?

He takes that helicopter with him everywhere. It has surprising range and allows him to travel just about anywhere and still stay on his mega boat at night. I caught the man himself in this shot (look closely in the passenger door, he's waving). The helicopter is a MD900. He was in town to watch some of his WWII airplane collection fly around Paine Field in Everet, WA.

And a little artsy shot.

Google reports the helo is registered to a "Vulcan Aircraft, Inc."

Know how I know Paul Allen is a nerd?

The holding company that runs his life's assets is named using a Star Trek reference.

Nice to see the chopper all wrapped up. That must take a couple hours to do and undo, including attaching roto blades and all, lol.
