Kobe Bryant was no stranger to helicopter travel. It helped him avoid two-hour travel times through L.A.’s notorious traffic while also keeping his body fresh.
it was common for Bryant to travel by helicopter from his Orange County, California, home to Lakers games at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. It helped him avoid two-hour travel times through L.A.’s notorious traffic while also keeping his body fresh.
In 2017, Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka, who was Bryant's agent, told The Los Angeles Times a story about. Bryant had the pilot fly military maneuvers and shut off the engine. On Sunday, flight records show the helicopter departed near Santa Ana, California, around 9 a.m. PT and was “last seen” at 9:45 a.m. near Van Nuys, about 16 miles east of Calabasas, according to FlightAware flight tracking.
But Bryant could have been leasing it or had some other kind of arrangement for his personal use. The photo shows the Black Mamba logo on the helicopter, a brand and reference to his nickname.
