I consider myself lucky to have my office right at the airport. I also consider it even luckier that my office overlooks Honolulu International Airport. Even though I'm busy alot, I do have the opportunity to take in the view of the airfield.
So today I was fortunate to have the opportunity of being able to see them film one of my favorite shows on TV, Hawaii Five-0 at the hanger next door.
Cameras roll as two actors portraying U.S. Marshall deputies are seen walking off the Grumman G-II.
In the shot is Officer Dan "Dano " Williams played by Scott Cann standing in front of his silver Chevy that he drives around with and LT Commander Steven "Steve" McGarrett played by actor Alex O'Loughlin. Both actors watch the action from the sidelines.
Cameras roll as the actors portraying U.S. Marshall's escort a prisoner from the aircraft. Actors Scott Cann and Alex O'Loughlin can be seeing standing in the foreground next to the silver car
This shot shows the actors waiting around and taking a break as they wait for the crew to set up. Once they completed with the shoot on the ramp, the cast and crew moved into the hanger for more shooting.
The Hawaii Five-O crew started at 0400L setting things up and cameras were rolling at around 0600L. They completed all filming on location by 1230L. I look forward to watching this unfold when the show airs sometime in the near future.

ReplyDeleteI was out in HNL last week and noticed this Gulfstream in one of the hangars. Thought I read the reg off as N227GA but that particular G2 has been WFU and "missing" since 2001 or so. Since the reg is taped over on the left side for the show and it appears that there is a lot of bondo work by the wing root, was wondering if this actually is N227GA? Appreciate any insight you may have!
Mahalo!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I'm not too sure regarding the registration of that particular aircraft but I do have a few friends that work over at Bradley Aviation where the filming took place at and I'll get you an answer.

Sooooooo....according to my sources, the tail number of the mystery plane used during a recent filming of Hawaii 5-0 was in fact a G-II (not a G-V as I stated in my blog) and it's registration is N227LA (N227GA is actually assigned to a HAWKER BEECHCRAFT C90GTI according to the FAA website). N227LA is registered as a G-II.
ReplyDeletelono68,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for checking this out for me. Been meaning to send regards earlier, got a bit busy. The N227LA certainly matches the paint scheme seen on other photos. So the saga as to where N227GA went continues on...

ReplyDeleteYou are right that when someone has his office at the airport so he can take an opportunity to fly in the air for a while and enjoy.
