There was a thread a few months back in an SBH forum talking about the show. The goverment was apperantly on the fence about allowing the show to showcase SBH. They thought it might hurt the islands rep and tourism. However it was never answerd if SBH was filmed or not.

Also one of the board members is the GM for TNCM. He said they asked for photos and film from the airports history. Also about the history of what made the island important to the US military, who built the airport in '42.
