Thunderfoot,
Today I got to see a friends flight on Sunshine Helicopters that he took yesterday.
It was a dvd copy of the flight. It took off from Hilo airport and went straight up HWY 11 to Volcanoes National Park then flew around the active flow a few times and then over Royal Gardens sub- division in Kalapana
then followed the coastline back to Hilo airport. At no time was the Helicopter under 1,000 ft and I asked my friend and he said they averaged 1,500 ft. The whole flight was about an hour long. This is just one flight but I didn't notice anything crazy going on like buzzing homes. I just thought I would post this as it is relevant to this topic.
