and what is the carbon footprint of this one trip by one rich man probably more than mine for a year.
the Rich / Famous etc need to cut down on wasting the planets resources
Indeed I would go further and say that the Rich and Famous and influencers etc should be setting an example on how to reduce personal carbon foot prints

It's not just the waste of precious resources to get a few people from A to B, it's the spreading of polluting combustion products and the noise inflicted on the people living below the flightpath between Biggin Hill and central London. Why do we allow these helicopters flying a few hundred feet above the rooftops to emit a noise level we wouldn't tolerate from a road vehicle?

Because they are considerably, I say considerably, richer than yow ? In all seriousness I have to agree.

We get a LOT of helicopters over here.
Big double ones, small ones, fast ones, bristly ones, you-didn't-see-me ones.
Also small trainer planes, fast trainer jets, very fast jets, BIIIIG transports.
...and Ospreys, which are kinda both, and very silly.
...and small planes with nobody on board.
And, for extra joy, they're all at TV-aerial-twanging height.
The joys of living right under the start of a military low-fly area, also right on a regular special-forces route.
Then there's the electricity chopper, coming to check on lines and trees and whatever.
Oh, and occasionally the air ambulance when somebody (usually a biker) has done something silly to themselves.
