August 2012 I was calling early to Mr Bruckner FAA, & the lady trying to take the message could barely hear me other the helicopter noise. I was inside, with most of the windows closed, she thought I was outside at the airport... even she (at Hilo) could not believe how noisy they were...
I do not know how most of the teachers in Keaau Inter can keep the attention of the students when they fly overhead...I subbed there a few times & the older "portables" had little to no sound protection....

they just showed up in HB's Area. Luckily we have some full grown albizia trees and they can't fly that low! Haha Start planting now.
But when I came out with my replica cardboard shoulder harnessed rocket launcher they didn't stay in the area for long!

It doesn't matter what the votes pass or don't pass. The war on drugs has become a money making profit machine. It's easy to take plats out of people yards that are normally cooperative and law abiding tax paying citizens than go bust down a rental (usually a slums lord) where the house is of no value. So no money or profit and a lot more RISKY for police of getting hurt or shot by some drug crazed ice head with a machete or a gun.
I was about to call BS on your drone strike but oh yeah! Obama (thanks obama) says it's ok to use deadly force (drone strikes) on U.S. citizens. Wow... It sure gets real when you realize that could happen to you.
Even tho, I was only joking about the replica rocket launcher.

we are fortunate to live in a place where a card board replica could draw a bs call
2500 miles to the right across the pacific "I was in fear of my life" enough to call in worse than drone strikes..... strange times we live in
good to remember when traveling

case in point... I was looking at a van to buy in HB down the second circle hilo side, where there is the insane neighbor with 20-40 pits and other breads of dogs. She lived on the lower end of the circle... I asked her about it, and she said she called the cops plenty but no matter nothing gets done because it's an ice house and all the cops know the family that deals. So... Take that with a grain of salt.
I could imagine half the police force addicted to meth. It's almost become a house hold drug here. I know a lot of people that do it but they seem to somehow function normally enough to hold down a job. It's only the certain few that go permanently awol talking to themselves for life.

Every time I see these government paid criminals flying around and then ponder the real violent crimes that aren't solved it makes me wonder what are the real priorities of our government. Also what really happens to the weed they confiscate ?

I know people who swear they've used meth with the police on the big island. Occasionally in uniform in their pseudo-work vehicles.
I don't use it myself but it would be enlightening for some sort of 'double blind' undercover sting operation to check this out... Sorry if I misused any of that jargon lol.
I always try and keep that in mind when evaluating our 'boys in blue'.

I'll say it again: everyone chip in for a charter helicopter flight that circles over the homes of the FAA officials and GH pilots. I strongly suspect they have no idea what it sounds like from below.
The only problem with that idea is many of the pilots actually live in HPP.
