            <div class="h-rule"></div>
            <p>February, 2008</p>
            <p>LA Weekly reporter Gendy Almurung and photographer Jessica Miller
              take a tour with Michael Rogers and Andre Hutchings, co-owners
              of Los Angeles Helicopters, one of the most dynamic helicopter
              flight centers in the city. Offering a complete suite of services,
              including a world class FAA-accredited flight school, scenic helicopter
              tours, private charter, production services and more, this reporting
              team receives the VIP treatment and experience more than they bargained
              for.</p>
            <p class="inline-quote">&ldquo;<strong>There are so many applications</strong> for
              helicopters &mdash; romantic or death-defying, heroic or Herculean &mdash; I'm
              surprised anybody drives cars or flies airplanes at all. Rogers
              and Hutchings, for example, run a tour that takes people out to
              the vineyards in Temecula for wine tasting. They land in the parking
              lot of the winery and wait while the people have dinner, then fly
              them back.&rdquo;</p>
