As I sit here with helicopters buzzing overhead...

I'm going to go out on a limb and propose that at least 70% of the subdivisions of this island (might be interesting to include other places too... Ocean view (H.O.V.E.), Honokaa, Captain Cook/ Hawaiian Acres, Kalapana, Kapoho, ...)experience excessive helicopter noise. Let's ask! Let's talk!

Getty, the helicopters have MULTIPLIED over the years. We didn't build near an airport. Close to the volcano. yeah? Loving it, Yeah. What was once a slight buzz now and then is now a DIRECT overflight, often below 500'. Have you ever had this happen? Daily?? Intense. Loud. Sudden. Close. Shielding your eyes to see what color this time? Covering your ears sometimes. Wondering - What? The? Hell?!!! And GRRRR.....

Helicopters fly over our place sometimes so low that I can see the people inside, can see if they're wearing sunglasses. Most days though, it's just the standard 20 - 30 helicopters sawing their paths overhead and to the sides of us that we hear. Sometimes I'm just not around to keep track. What laws or penalties do they answer to? Any? It's a show and we're the scenery. Where's that s.o.s. flag I had kickin' around...
