• September 2007Ivor and Josh Outrun Two Hurricanes
 Pilot Ivor, Actress Piper and Actor Manolo from the Disney movie "South of the Border" currently shooting in Mainland Mexico. Photo was taken after the helicopter filmed the actors on location where temperatures were 115 degrees. |
After two days of chasing trucks and trains, the weather turned. Ivor Shier, pilot, and Josh Downing, mechanic, had flown to Hermosillo, Mexico to begin a week of filming on a Disney Movie scheduled for Summer 2008 about dogs in Mexico and the adventures that ensue. They finished filming a scene with a car and a freight train when plans had to change.
For the first time in history, two hurricanes made landfall the same day: Felix in Nicaragua, and Henrietta in Cabo San Lucas. In the perfect storm of events, Ivor decided to outrun the hurricanes. They reached stateside safely out of the paths of the hurricanes. Not so lucky were the movie sets and train tracks that washed out during the storm.
The crew will be returning to Hermosillo as soon as storm repairs are finished. All hope and plans are for better weather next time.
