$30,000. Now that DOES include about $5,000 for a day's worth of helicopter,
but it also includes, camera rentals (Sony Beta SPs, plus heads), camera
operators, tape stock, scripting, off line and on line editing (at
$200/hour), music rental, travel, accomodations, etc. And in car camera
mounts rent out for $500 per day. It all ads up pretty quick.

generate enough sales to pay for production. I could work on getting it
aired on Speedvision perhaps for as little as $2,000. And our agency crew
(in-house) could produce an airworthy show. Now if you can only find someone
to come up with the rest of the dough...
