Look for Chinaman’s Hat, known as Mokoli’i. According to Hawaiian legend, the uniquely shaped island was the tip of the tail of a lizard.

ALL ABOUT THE MD-500

As seen in the famous television series Magnum P.I., the Hughes 500D helicopter was originally developed about half a century ago for military purposes. Not only did this recognizable and now iconic aircraft add some cutting-edge drama to the series, but it also showcased Oahu’s photogenic beauty from high above.

At Magnum Helicopters, they’ve reconstructed that very same “D model” helicopter to closely resemble the one used in the TV show—but theirs is even better! Their version features a more powerful engine, a T-tail, and a five-blade main rotor for quick maneuverability and a smooth ride. As you soar high across the Oahu sky during your 50-minute aerial tour, you’ll experience the ultimate Magnum P.I. helicopter tour!
