As I sit here with helicopters buzzing overhead...

It's a beautiful morning, blue skies, birds chirping, home was so lovely until just before 7a.m., when the first helicopter chopped loudly overhead. Since then, there's at least 1 every 20 minutes within hearing range, 1 every hour flying directly overhead. We're in Fern Forest, toward the top of the subdivision. This isn't new. It's pretty much daily and has been for months. So why all the helicopters? It has increased A LOT over the past year. They can't all be pakalolo hunters. So what are they? What massive fund are they drawing from? Tourists? I think I'd like to start a movement letting tourists know that it's disruptive to the people who live here for them to take these helicopter tours. Tell them to take a boat if they want to see the lava. Look out their plane window if they want to see it from above. I give up on the pakalolo hunters, it will be legal soon and they'll be out of work. But where else are all these awful helicopters coming from?? And why can't we have a fly zone that doesn't disrupt neighborhoods from 7am to 5pm all week long?
The tourist information is a good thought though... The heli tour companies don't respect the 500' min. altitude, I've identified them several times.
