The tower will cost an estimated 150 million euros (210 million US dollars) to build, financed by Libya. It will contain among other things a five star hotel with 350 rooms, a conference hall sitting 2500 people, a shopping mall, and two underground levels of parking. A helicopter landing pad will be located on top of the tower. Here are screenshots from the evening news on Senegalese television. General view of the tower.

Dakar Rally's Helicopter

There's a tremendous need for Dakar Helicopter rally as well as a new Top Gear Show for the promotion of affordable ultralight helicopters. As can be seen through all the contemporary Dakar races helicopters provide all the support from medical to filming and support services for both the vehicles as well as the personnels. It would be of great benefit to the global community if an international competition and show consisting of all types of helicopters from ultra lights as well as all the other more conventional helicopters. They would open up all the skies, develop service and fueling platforms which will not only foster global prosperity for the posterity but also enhance technical advancement and community integration at a global scale. Thats because no border will be able to stop peoples quest for exploration and discovery literally. View Larger Map

Helipads in Busan- Korea

Busan is located at the southern port and ship building zone of Southern South Korea. Its the site of heavy industries like steel rolling mills of POSCO and automobile manufacturing for Hyundai. Busan is also an international container port responsible for exporting Korea's manufactured goods and importing the raw materials. Its expanding rapidly due to Korea's increased manufacturing capacity which means it is more vulnerable to threats by external parties. This is the reason why there's so many heliports there. Both civilian and military. Location of the Helicopter Base at the port of Busan. View Larger Map Newly developed apartments with Helipads.
