This shot was taken here.  There is a business there called Offshore Flight School and they do helicopter tours.

Didn't we note that the helicopter belonged to someone else?

If they are waiting there must be a time involved when they can leave by chopper (note Mirna consulting her watch).

Still there is the question of where and when they change clothes.  On board the chopper Charla has her swim suit on already, and Mirna has her green halter top on; the same outfits they are wearing when going across the rocks toward the shipwreck (later we see her in a red bikinia tip).  So a lot of clothes changes going on in this ep

We know nothing about the Roadblock, some of us are guessing this is the last task at end City ala TAR9 for example.

ummm....it's not a stretch to think that the helicopter shot of M/C could be going back to Oahu, after completing the tasks on Lanai.  Never occured to anyone that if they arrive by chopper, they could just as easily go back by chopper.  Ya think?  :groan:

Quote from: puddin
Well all I know is that if I ever hear about the winner or any kind of list again I'm not posting it  ! I think it took the fun out of the season sooooo..

Ya think?  What a snoozer of a season due to the list.   :rotf: :lol: :snicker:  Bad puddin, bad puddin.   ;)

Oh I think they fly back to Honolulu by chopper too Boingo  :tup:
Sorry if I ruined the season but like my friend on another board says " A spoiler isn't a spoiler untill the show has aired."

I was trolling around CBS and found this fwiw:

Yeah puddin, that's what I've been saying all along, a spoiler isn't a spoiler until it's proven to be right  :knuckles: if it's right I think you deserve the best spoiler in the universe award, even if it wasn't your list to begin with.

The only win of the F3 that I would find "unbelievable" would be C/M  ???

I agree.

I want Eric & Danielle to win, would be happy if Dustin & Kandice win, would go kill  myself if Charla & Mirna won.

Well Eric looks better then at Cold rocks two seasons ago, but they don't look like jumping up and down happy, almost more we finished.

E/D COULD be unbelievable since they haven't won a single leg this race. But then, DK or CM could both be unbelievable for being the first F/F team to win..

joemike, usually the team not shown a lot are the ones who do well in the leg, but who knows....all I know is I'm expecting a E/D win, praying for a D/K win, and hoping for an awesome finale.

mswood- that shot of Eric is at the Malaysian pit stop!

 :lol:  Still scanning the small aircraft runway (with GE) at Honolulu Airport, and the only large helicopter I see is at  Heli USA.  FWIW, the Offshore Flying School web site only shows small 2 or 4-seat helicopters.  You would think that a minimum 6-seat jet powered chopper would be required to ferry 2 racers+2crew+pilot to Lanai.  Heli USA has such choppers.  And, it's only two buildings away from OFS building.  Only thing, the sight lines to the ATC tower are not quite right from Heli USA.  Go figure.   :groan:   But, who really cares, it's Saturday, everything that can be spoiled has been spoiled (thanks to puddin, lol), and all will be revealed tomorrow (thank god).   ;D

No they have a clue in their hand and are probably looking of for the cave.
Hey thats it! Detour ..Caves or Waves  :lol:

And what I'm saying about E/D is that SeeBS is pumping up an all female team in the final 3 for ratings and are probably hiding obvious, "you'll be surprised who wins". I think a lot of people are counting out E/D because they haven't won a leg yet and most average viewers will be surprised.

Waves
Caves

Note Correction:

This shot was taken here between 8:03 and 9:15 am (assumes December 16th).

I think the other location I put up earlier is incorrect.
This place matches a possible sun angle, the other place was solar impossible.
The location is just further along Lagoon Drive at the intersection with Palekona St.
This one also gives the correct view of the "arms" of the control tower.

 :lol:  FWIW, looks like the helicopter C/M are flying in resembles an A-Star helicopter.   Ignoring the fact that Heli USA flies A-Star helos, the windows seem to match.  Just one more bit of useless information.   :knuckles:

I thought early on we had pix of helicopter N4064F taking off at Honolulu airport.  This chopper i belongs to Sunshine Helicopters and flies throughout the islands.

hmmm....a quick google search shows Sunshine Helicopters is based in Hilo and Kona, and hard to pin them down to a Honolulu location.  BTW, they also fly A-Star helos.  Maybe you can track down some additional info to support your case.  I don't recall seeing any previews showing the racers actually entering/exiting the N4064F aircraft.  Could be stock footage.

Interesting fact #946....sure is expensive to charter a chopper in Hawaii (from Sunshine Helicopter web site):
Private Charter
 
 • Wedding

Let our trained staff create a truly unforgettable event for you;

Peninsula. Custom picnic baskets can be prepared at your

I still don't think that final challenge is the RB, because it says each team member, not just one...

PS;
peach is probably living it up in NY right now  :lol:

Well maybe there is no final roadblock or they are just not showing us because theres no evidence either way?
The only solo thing we see is Charla doing the standup paddle surfing and we know shes used up all 6 of her Roadblock turns, as already pointed out above somewhere, lol.  I dunno..maybe the roadblock is Hula dancing  :umn:

lol I bet peach is having a blast, with apskips :lol:!! ...
