Well hate is a pretty strong word, but I've been living in what has now become the flight path of every damm helicopter in the world ( slight exaggeration ).



They're driving me nuts.



There are at least six or seven flying at any one time..everything from heli-ambulances to army, air-force, police,.. which i have to accept. But then there are all the dumb-assed radio traffic helicopters and TV bigshots & journalists who think nothing to fly by helicopter just to visit a local school or do a story about someone's friggin cat being stuck in a tree..



" Oh we need heli-shots of that poor pussy... boys "



My real gripe is that they fly really low and at almost walking speed..so they whomp whomp the air for what seems like hours..the windows rattle, the television reception goes skew-wiff.



Unlike airport traffic that has time limits, these helli jocks fly at 2 or 3 in the morning.



Then there are the 1,000,000 candle search lights..

turning night into day...no doubt chaing some desperado who has stolen a toothpick...You get the picture...



I've spoken to council & government air traffic regulators, but the helicopters apparently fall outside the laws' regulations with regards to altitude & noise levels etc..



Sometimes ..I wish I had a slingshot or one of those pee shooters..



....don't want to kill em..just wing em..so that they think twice about harrassing us poor humans..



What a bunch of helli-jocks..;grumble:



Sounds of Wagners.." The ride of the Valkarie.".



Dum dee dee dah dum...Dum dee dee dah dum... Dum dee dee dah dah.....Dum dee dee dum !!!

    Go get yourself a marine searchlight, a couple megacandle should do the trick. Next time they shine it at you, shine yours back.



    I bet they'll listen to you then... even if you *are* on the witness stand.

    Careful, some of those things can spit. 30mm machine gunfire and Hellfire missles are a sight more unpleasant than the noise and vibration.

    I too hate those annoying TV choppers. I see three every night, because I have two bridges and a major highway very close to me. Then the jerks fly back over my neighborhood, why I don't know, becasue all the TV stations are the opposite direction, and there is always a traffic jam near Scandia, no matter what time of day.



    Have you ever tried to play basketball when a helicoptor flies overhead? :erm:

    Actually a pellet gun would be interesting to play with. Although they might get pissed, and if they find out was you......

    Google must not be anywhere around here because the airplanes go 24 hours a day on this continent. Late night is mostly cargo planes, the oldest and noisiest planes that are no longer coolio for passengers.

    It's the black helicopters that fly secretly over America each night to prepare the takeover by either aliens or the UN

    A friend of mine aimed a police radar gun (those used to find out haw fast you are speeding) at a news chopper once. It took a quick dive and fled at top speed out of the area. That would only solve your problem temporarily because 3 Apache choppers showed up and searched the area for a 1/2 hour.

    1. Buy a SAM battery and then call the local media to tell them a small kitten is stuck in a tree across the street from you.

    2. Wait until the helicopter shows up to cover the dramatic rescue then fire your missile.

    3. Repeat as necessary until all helicopters are destroyed.

    Kickaha and Amorph couldn't moderate themselves out of a paper bag. Abdicate responsibility and succumb to idiocy. Two years of letting a member make personal attacks against others, then stepping aside when someone won't put up with it. Not only that but go ahead and shut down my posting priviledges but not the one making the attacks. Not even the common decency to abide by their warning (afer three days of absorbing personal attacks with no mods in sight), just shut my posting down and then say it might happen later if a certian line is crossed. Bullshit flag is flying, I won't abide by lying and coddling of liars who go off-site, create accounts differing in a single letter from my handle with the express purpose to decieve and then claim here that I did it. Everyone be warned, kim kap sol is a lying, deceitful poster.



    Now I guess they should have banned me rather than just shut off posting priviledges, because kickaha and Amorph definitely aren't going to like being called to task when they thought they had it all ignored *cough* *cough* I mean under control. Just a couple o' tools.



    Don't worry, as soon as my work resetting my posts is done I'll disappear forever.

    And because they're wearing ITT Aviation NVDs, they'll probably be blinded for a second, even with the brightness protection that those things have.

    Aquafire: Keep in mind that shooting at an aircraft is a federal felony. Blinding the pilot with a searchlight may be as well.



    As a balloon pilot, I clearly remember that some guy in the Midwest got several years in prison for shooting his rifle at a (manned) gas balloon some years ago. Sure, helicopters overhead are obnoxious, especially the news copters that serve no good purpose. But you wouldn't want to risk prison.



    Voicing your concerns with the appropriate government officials is probably the best (legal) thing you can do. I'm glad you already did that.

    I always thought that estes rockets, with their payload compartments packed with flour, would make nice POOOF marks and they might steer clear of your area.

    Yep,

    I ain't intending to do anything illegal.. Do yer think that some bird-lime might do the trick.



    Actually my local council declared our precinct a No-go zone for nuclear weapons, no transports are allowed to use our roads to convey nuclear materials or WOMD..

    No kidding..they even had a proper road sign displayed..but tourists ( bloody young backpack terrorists iz what I calls them ) kept flogging the signs no sooners as they wuz up..
