Naomi parachuted onto the island jumping out of a chopper. Which we
saw splash into the ocean. Then the Freighties land on the island
later in a chopper flown by their pilot dude. That's two choppers. Yet
when Michael's on the freighter they only ever show the pilot's
chopper, never Naomi's. How the hell did Naomi get to the island, and
what splashed, if not a chopper?

I was thinking it didn't crash into the ocean, that what's-his-face
did an emergency landing, the location of which we saw later.-GJ

Another simple explanation - for budget reasons they only have one

Maybe something like this:

Speculation only.

That's silly, and they could always create a second one with cgi.

Or the splash was them dumping cargo that Naomi was taking with her.

The one problem with your post is the word "saw". We never saw a
helicopter splash into the ocean. I don't think there was ever more
than on 'copter. The 2nd landing pad's a bluff.

Depending on when the scene occured, the other chopper could have been
in use at the time...

Craphole, Naomi was out doing grid sweeps)

Except there's no room for a second helicopter on that deck, even a CGI
one. As discussed in an earlier thread, there's just no practical way to
get a helicopter on and off that forward pad.

There are at least three explanations.

1. It's a mystery to be addressed in a later episode (and it had
better be a really good explanation).
2. It's a production limitation. Even Lost has them, and
remember that the Kahala/Kahana is a real ship that doesn't
normally sport one helicopter, let alone two.
3. It's all a con. (c) robgood.

Number 2 is the most plausible explanation.

and thus Mortimer...@aol.com inscribed ...

Maybe it is the same chopper, but due to the time difference, the others landed waaaaaay later?
