Yep! We heard them all the way up here...In San Diego, the hovering helicopters with bright spot lights was a routine residents acknowledged as part of life, if even grudgingly. We were also in the flight path of east to west bound commercial airlines. They began dumping fuel just where we lived on their way to Lindbergh Field. The quiet here is so profound motorcycles, kids with boom boxes and aircraft of any sort registers and causes you to make mental note. I am more concerned when I hear aircraft flying over our home that is not helicopters. Not often, but it does happen...we are not in any known flight path here and for an aircraft to fly over is most curious.
