Leilanidude - my post does have a number of assumptions, but I just wanted to point out that it is quite feasible to have an awful lot of overflights in one day. Personally, I'm not against the tours, but the noise does bother me, especially as I'm often trying to sleep during the day. I'm just trying to explore alternative ways they could be done but I don't have all the information.
Some time ago, I asked about possibly flying at 3000 feet rather than 1500. That would lower the noise by four times while also being somewhat safer for helicopters if they had an engine failure. I asked about the increased cost of fuel that would require but never got an answer.
MarkD - I think there are plenty of adamant TMT supporters who have a problem with helicopter noise, myself for example. It's a completely different issue and trying to attach labels to people seems rather disingenuous to me.
