I live right near the airport so Blackhawk helicopters and state helicopters are flying all the time. No big problem for me.

The only helicopters that I see around here is when there's a fire or the mining companies are checking out their mining properties. I'd be fine to never see an annoying helicopter.

I hope so, we're picking you up and heading to California. Time to take that state back!

I don't just listen to classic country. I love Kid Rock that song and Born Free pretty much sum me up.

Black helicopters..

You near a Marine Base, by chance? This is the time of Year for 'WTI', IIRC.. (not sure if that varies a bit by State tho..) Could be that..

Or - might be 'THEY'RE COMING FOR YA PPW! RUNNNNNN!'

I usually see activity in october. Fiscal year for the military ends on oct 31st. Commands have to use up all the fuel allocations in their budget for the year or their budget will be cut the next year.

I only rode in a helicopter once, (tourist flight).
Woulda given anything to balance the blades, it shook terribly.
If I had to fly in one again, I would hope that it was one of these below...
After Russian troops invade the USA, they would mobilize anything, and everyone, to fight back:

...And you thought I couldn't get classical music into any post.

I've also only been in one helicopter in my life - one of those "Flight For Life" medical choppers. I was doing a paramedic clinical in the hospital ER and they asked if I wanted to go along as an extra pair of hands. We took off from the roof of the building. Maybe six stories high? Too long ago for me to remember exactly. One minute you're slowly moving a few feet off the "ground" (roof) and the next you're heading over the edge and I swear the pilot must have tilted that thing at a 45 degree angle either to get going faster or to scare the **** out of me. That second part worked. My heart skipped a couple of beats as the "ground" suddenly fell out from under me. It was one of those Alouette choppers. Those are what are used here, because they can easily go into the high mountains (I guess their ceiling is higher than some other helicopters?) They have a big area of glass up front so your view is wide open. Especially when you launch yourself over the edge of a tall building!
