its a pipedream! period!
I live in Hawaiian Acres...... and I have no prob with helicopters, ever, and Im not deaf either.... its just that they dont compare to roosters, harleys, barking dogs, generators, 6AM shotgun blasts, heavy rain on a tin roof, etc. I actually cant remember hearing any helicopters today or yesterday, but I bet there was some..... or is it that I just dont notice them most times..... they dont startle, they slowly get louder, then they slowly get quieter... and they are fairly high up there too.. low private airplanes make more noise, but they arent as common...
fwiw an ocean rout from Hilo to the lava is crazy and just plain stupid and will limit the tourist to far less time actually over their destination, its like a huge circle and at least 2X farther than the direct route they have been doing for many yrs.. more gas $$ for chopper = higher prices for the trip and there will be less time over lava, and longer to get there and return... lose lose lose lose... I dont EVER see any company voluntarily screwing their business like that..... and there are homes along the shore too, so how far out over boring open ocean would these helicopter have to be to make you happy?... we buy our homes here know this going in.... and there are far more annoying noisy crap we deal w/ daily here than a helicopter flying over once every few hours if that...
is there such a thing as a "essential tour helicopter over flight"? they are all non essential, all tourist crap is...
also where did you find the info on 45K flight/yr, starting 2 months from now in 2017? I cant find anything like that on internet... thats 123/day, 365 days/yr... thats hard to believe...

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
