Rolls-Royce of the skies takes flight

“The depth of your mythology  is the extent of your effectiveness.” — John C. Maxwell

 Come hell or high water, nothing can truly put a good deed down — especially when the occasion calls for the formal introduction of one of the world’s finest helicopters ever to cruise the general aviation skies. Beeline Helicopters Inc. (BHI) recently launched the super sleek and most cost-efficient US brand Enstrom 480B Helicopter in a by-invitation-only extravagant affair held at One Esplanade.  Led by chairman and CFO Benny Gopez, CEO Lovell Gopez and COO Major Gen. Roberto Sabularse, the gathering consisted of the country’s select few which included US Embassy Commercial Attaché Thomas Brennan as guest of honor. The successful event culminated with no less than the unveiling of the evening’s star itself — the remarkable Enstrom 480B Helicopter. It was an honor and a great privilege to emcee this historic event. 

Congratulations to the Gopez family and may your endeavors soar to greater heights!

Johnny’s wine of the week

This week, your columnist recommends Champagne Mumm Cordon Rouge. Its color is golden yellow with jade tints. Persistent aromas of lemon and grapefruit with notes of white peach, apricot and apple leading to vanilla, dried fruit and honey. A complex mix of fresh fruit and caramel flavors create a touch of acidity and remarkable length.  Served with seafood, white meat, fruit desserts and pastries.
