actually seen this boat (bright star) on a tv show the owner is a really young looking wine vineyard owner in California .. i know i dident think there was that much money in wine either. this boat used to only be 100 feet he did a major refit and had the boat lengthened another 40. had the heli pad put on and 8.5 mill in other upgrades. owner also flew helicopters i believe that very well could be him taking off right there. that show is on youtube its where i saw it ( yacht somthing) lol
That’s the son you’re referring to. He’s the heir to the Howard Leight fortune. His farther founded it and eventually sold it to Honeywell for a “nice sum”. Nice guy, you wouldn’t know he had money
I'm sure all the other sailors in the marina love to hear jet noise and rotor blades for 8 minutes while Captain Checklist takes his time figuring out what to do and when to do it. Startup and takeoff undoubtedly took longer than the flight.
It's amazing Yes i make a good living as a Scientist but i see these videos and think of are Homeless in America. Do some of us need to have so much money?
The irony is that pilot probably gets paid a salary of $90K to sit on that boat year round, and probably logs less than 100 hours of flight time per year. A boring but well-paid life.
Sorry, fell asleep at 5:17 what happens in the end ? Is there a crash ? Is it a fireball crash ! Cause a fireball crash off a Yacht would be so cool, I would watch that !
Civillian trained pilot. Takes 8 mins to take off despite the aircraft idling at lift ability for 5 mins. Air traffic not an issue, just him making sure his i's were dotted and t's were crossed. Glad i'm not on board. Fucking amateur.
actually, replying to myself after reading the comments, this guy crashed a chopper in the drink apparently so yeah, hope i'm never walking under the fucking idiots flightpath. Jesus,buy a skateboard Howard,'cos you look waaaaayyy too clumsy to be flying helicopters.!!!!
Both yacht and helicopter is owned by Howard Leight.....who made his money from hearing protection! Wonder if he gives his 'neighbours' free hearing protection? He crashed his helicopter upside down in the water and survived.....but hey....no problem.....just go and buy another!
Must be nice to have enough money to buy a ship and a helicopter. Unfortunately, unless you win the money in a lottery or inherit it, you have to work long hours to be able to buy something like that shown in the video. Working long hours means you have limited time to play with your toys that your money from all your hard work purchased. Reminds me of the story about the local fisherman on a small island and the wealthy tourist to comes to visit the island to fish.
+Jay Smith How many hours have you got on A109s then chap? Do enlighten us of how you get this heli up in 2 mins. Please bear in mind that this is not FSX.
This isn't billionaire life bro, this is about 100-million-dollar-man-life. Also that yacht belongs to the people who own the Roaky Oaks Estate and is used to transport people to the estate, chances are there were just two very average people in that helicopter. (Well a bit above average I guess)
![[ENG] LURSSEN "AZZAM" LARGEST LUXURY SUPERYACHT EVER - The Boat Show](/img/n.gif)
Leight Star was banned after from doing this in the harbor after this move. Less than 100 yards from residential homes
skip to 7:20 to see take off
Cameraman had good instincts for framing the shot. Been shooting broadcast for over 20 years, and keeping it "live" is a talent.
This machine is way too big for this boat.. Smile..
Pretty sweet Agusta Westland AW109-A2 model.
Don't waste your time, jump to 7:15
Thanks!
jesus..seven minutes of watching a copter warm up? wtf for?
waiting 7 minutes until that goddamn helicopter eventually takes off was indeed exhausting
Why can’t the chopper lift up the back of the boat?

What time you gain in the air is partly lost warming up the gearboxes. But better that than having to glide down.
Is it Don Johnson off to work?
You know the AW139 executive, they actually have one for sale. The interior is amazing.
is it AW139 or AW109 ?
I'm sure all the other sailors in the marina love to hear jet noise and rotor blades for 8 minutes while Captain Checklist takes his time figuring out what to do and when to do it. Startup and takeoff undoubtedly took longer than the flight.
I'll fly with captain checklist anyday over captain crash!
+C Man He shuttles between San Diego and Malibu.
It's amazing Yes i make a good living as a Scientist but i see these videos and think of are Homeless in America. Do some of us need to have so much money?
Is the yacht too small or the helicopter too big??
Its a fairly big heli, both maybe?
How much money for the 2 luxurious items , 25 million at least
Checklist??? Was that not the baggage compartment door that swung open as it lifted? that is going to be fun when it hits the tail rotor........
Nope, lucky for him its not the baggage compartment door ;) ! Retractable landinggear :) Its the space where the wheels go in the fuselage!
VERY NICE PILOT SAAD NAJIB AGUSTA 109
I would buy a yacht like that one, I just don't have the money.
channel ..howard leight ....yacht...the leight star ..any connection?

Haha.
They lived happily ever after.
How long is that boat??
Fantástic 👍
Actually, this helicopter is a 1987 A109 MK II. Probably pick one up for around 1.2 mil.
What's his name?? The boat!
In here helipad arrive the agusta aw139??
I used to party on that boat in college
yacht looks too small for such a big chopper
the heli is almost bigger than the yacht..
thanks
Geez....if it didn't have that Gap in the deck you could land even BIGGER choppers on-board! :O
Soon both for sale for pennies on the dollar. Their moneyflow is being cut off!
Lol, getting an Agusta could be like 14 million dollars... dream on sir!
How I'm poor!!
Howard Jr is a baller.
That pad just shouldn't be able to take all that weight!..insane. Those two little support struts below look pointless. :D
nice set up mega money running costs i bet!!!
bet hes not in construction game!

scarabooshable Uh ohh someone's butthurt! This dude is far too rich to ever care about what you think
He's in San Diego and still has to coordinate with Lindbergh tower. It's a controlled airspace and he's just down the street from the airport.
scarabooshable Yeah, his R44 is toast.
+scarabooshable You're just a Bernie Sanders voting hater.
so yeah waiting huh...
Mandatory if you want to get around LA in human timescales.
took so damn long to takeoff..
if you want to save seven minutes of your life. start in 7:16
The fool and his money are soon (de)parting.
Way too long video for 10 seconds of action. Not to mention it is a German designed helicopter. Fly Sikorsky or Bell or go home.
It messed up my hair !!!!!
HOWARD LEIGHT is the registered owner of that helicopter. Who ever he is...
Hay pobrecito no tiene plata, hagamos la colecta 🤦♂️
that's cool ! thanx
Both yacht and helicopter is owned by Howard Leight.....who made his money from hearing protection! Wonder if he gives his 'neighbours' free hearing protection? He crashed his helicopter upside down in the water and survived.....but hey....no problem.....just go and buy another!
This video could have been about 0:30 long...
Agree with u completely. Maybe a minute more. Just to show the chopper taking off. ohf
Why rare? Cause of the size, or cause 'wheeled' crafts don't get along with boat decks or cause nobody can usually afford both of these things? lol
here in Brasil, kilo of cocaine cost 2k dollar, in USA, 25k dollars, lol ........

thats it, if you live in a fair country, at least you are lucky for that.
+Ricardo Iarossi navicheafondaano
Helicopter cost more than the boat.
WOW takes to long for it to fly away
+Home Homer I guess you never heard of a checklist.
+Jay Smith How many hours have you got on A109s then chap? Do enlighten us of how you get this heli up in 2 mins. Please bear in mind that this is not FSX.
You really couldn't edit out the part where the helicopter is just sitting there? Do you think this is actually interesting to anyone? Dislike.
You know whent youre a filthy rich individual when...
The Long Goodbye. LOL
Must be nice...
90k is probbaly an underestimate
The boat looks like shit with that chopper hanging off of it!!!
diz ai se não gostaram!!! hahahahaha!

1 ton of coca is 50million dollar '-' much money
Wow! I want bilionare life too.
This isn't billionaire life bro, this is about 100-million-dollar-man-life.
Also that yacht belongs to the people who own the Roaky Oaks Estate and is used to transport people to the estate, chances are there were just two very average people in that helicopter. (Well a bit above average I guess)
Hi bro :-)

GSKay Ward I bet some one with 20 million could afford that let alone 100 million.
+GSKay Ward He sold the company for $200 million cash. So yeah this is about $100MM lifestyle.
+Faizan Mahmood You could buy it. Could not afford to keep it.
