Meeting and Petition for Pesky Helicopters

[Lee G]

I have no vested interest in the air tours but I do work at Hilo airport. You may be surprised to know that there are people who come from as far as Europe just to see the volcano and what better way to see it? Also many mainland visitors who are staying in the outer islands come here for a day trip just to see the volcano. The ones I see flying over my neighborhood seem to be at 1,000 - 2,000 elevation.
