I was referring to the no helicopters allowed sticker... seems odd.

They are having a little fun with that no helicopter image over Ben Kramers name.

EyeSee, I'm having a Dunkin Donuts coffee this morning and I seem to recall Don Aronow may have struck (with his offshore powerboat) a helicopter that was filming the race. A vague memory and could be way off base.
That no helicopter art work may be attached to that incident.

Sorry Ed, been out of town a few days, SAM is one of the 5 Carbon Kevlar 41's, 5 star one is a cool boat but I don't know much about it other then I think it's been in France a long time. Happy new year, 47 with the helicopter sticker was the first one built. Helicopter sticker I believe is about the jail escape attempt that didn't work out down in Miami .
