I did a special shoot of the United State Coast Guard Sikorsky MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter on the Otay Mountains in San Diego County, California. I got permission to drive on a BLM land dirt road which got me near the top of mountain. I then hiked up a brush filled hill to get to the right location. The road driving up was very bumpy and close to extremely steep drop offs.
