Hawaiian helicopter tour operations

Brief aside off the Concorde-maintenance point — operators don't fly their own tour helicopters because they know the maintenance gap. Used as a "things you need to learn" coda.

Which by the way is another reason why you should never take one of these helicopter tours around Hawaii. They never have time to do maintenance on those helicopters. The guys who work at the helicopter companies will never take one of those flights, because they know the incidence of failures is higher in that business than any other. These are little things you need to learn.
