MJ Anniversary -- The Flying Helicopter Flower Dump!
40 minutes ago by TMZ Staff  

With the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death approaching -- one helicopter company is giving fans the chance to pay their respects ... by raining flowers down around Neverland ... mid-flight.

The 30-minute Channel Island Helicopter flights are set to take off June 24th and 25th -- exactly two years since Jackson died after a Propofol-induced cardiac arrest.

During the flight, passengers are encouraged to honor the late entertainer by chucking his favorite flower -- a red rose -- out of the helicopter mid-flight ... over nearby Zaca Peak.

A rep for the helicopter company tell us -- fans are super excited for the aerial tour ... saying they feel it will bring them "closer to heaven" ... and closer to Michael.

So last year his favorite flower was a sunflower, now it's a red rose. Okay...

One would almost think Mike is at Neverland, when you look at the last sentence. 8-)

The red rose symbolizes many different meanings depending on its shade and the amount. In general it portrays beauty, passion, courage and respect. It says congratulations, I love you and shows a sincere love. It is viewed as a symbol of deep romantic love and desire .

Hmmmm, there are 18 roses displayed in the picture. According to the site you linked to, it means "I'm sorry". Who's sorry and for what? Is MJ sorry for staying away so long? lolol/

Thank God they realized Michael likes Red Roses mj_bad/ ..i bet he loves all the flowers but i also bet that the red color is his favorite  elvis_/ ...Wonder who thought of changing the "flower" 'theme'?

[voiceforthesilent]

Thank you for sharing this article with us. TMZ has been pretty quiet lately, it had me wondering.

Yes, that last sentence does stand out for sure. "bring them "closer to heaven" ... and closer to Michael" implies that Michael is there. Maybe they are referring to his spirit, IDK.

Also - wasn't there a no fly rule over Neverland? It seems like that is no longer in effect.

The red rose is what was at his memorial, right? I wonder if there is any significance.

It will be interesting to see how many people do that. If they can afford that they can afford $20 to the MJJforeverinnocent project.

Blessings.

I wonder if the red rose has significance to Father's Day?  It is Father's Day today -- perhaps MJ always received red roses on Father's Day - just surmizing - :)  - maybe it is way of expressing his LOVE to all the fathers out there today.

Thank you for your post.. very interesting. Does anyone lives near Nerverland? If so can you go take a peak and see who will pick up all the roses, and where will they bring the roses after they picked them up? I am just wondering if they bring them inside Never land, there can be a possibility Michael is inside, or he is not there. I have no clue. Did Janet new boyfriend buy Neverland for her/ There was an article that he would have bought Neverland for Janet. I haven't heard anything after..

lolol/ I knew this would happen and I predicted it when I first heard that Katherine Jackson was selling roses. lolol/  Last year Lisa Marie and sunflowers, this year Katherine's roses, next year  typing/

"V for Vendetta"  :D

[hesouttamylife]

The fans have also purchased 4,500 red roses for Michael's crypt.

The article says: "The 30-minute Channel Island Helicopter flights are set to take off June 24th and 25th -- exactly two years since Jackson died " - as if he died on 24th AND 25th... Reminds me of Ben Evenstad's "that day and the other d... uhm..."
