The Amazing Race 14 Speculation on Spoilers
puddin:
I think TAR7 did it the same way ....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7VfMDfYmFY

I'm not sure but the coastline looks very similiar. Look here and see what y'all think? NOT saying Catalina, but looks similiar and you can click on some of the other aerials around the area. (look in the upper righthand corner)

Plus remember BVM said they do a "death defying task" right off the bat? That's been bugging me, leg 2 isn't right off the bat...
DrRox:
Pretty close Pudding. I think in TAR7, they assembled at Los Alamitos Airfield and helicoptered over to that park next to the Queen Mary for the start line, if I am not mistaken. In that one they used Army Blackhawk helicopters.
Using Los Alamitos, gives TPTB some added security in that the normal public will not have access to the starting line.
Peach, that is the coast line of California going south from Los Angeles toward San Diego.....Orange County, etc. Though it is a little far down the coast, the Marines have a base at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside and the Navy has big airbase at Miramar that could be assembly points for those Sea Stallions to take off from,. Remember in the early days, it was speculated that start was in San Diego. It could be that the assembly point for the racers were on one of those military bases. Again the military base gives them security from the public. But they could land and take off those helicopters just from just about any airport in the area or even a golf course. Those shots of the helicopters in the promo are flying south to north up the California coastline, ie, from the direction of San Diego to Los Angeles.
I was thinking that death defying stunt was the bungee off the dam, their first morning in Europe.
puddin:
TAR7 was Edwards AFB in California fwiw
DrRox:
Thanks puddin, I had always heard it was Los Alamitos and since I have been here, I never went back to TAR 7 to look at the archives. But is isnt really any farther from Edwards AFB to Long Beach as it is from Camp Pendelton Marine Base to Los Alamitos.
