Only when I fart in thy general direction.

What type of helo?
By the rotor sounds, Huey or similar. Didn't have the Dauphin or NOTAR sound. Definitely not shithook, crashhawk or the like. Spent most of it's time towards the airport but between here and there, and did a lot of hovering and ups/downs by the sounds of it.
Helo touch and go?
state po po looking for pot in wooded areas?
marine or army training?
UN/alien takeover?

Was raining during most of the noise. Not sure, wondered if someone was missing from bedcheck at ERJ.
Just got annoying with the constant noise. I don't get that much noise from the C5's, so I know it wasn't that far away.
They did have a larger sized, 2-engine, jet,.. and no, not the C5s or even a C130, that was doing touch and goes today out there. Maybe the helo is related to this...

wrong time of year
Could be power company inspecting lines or doing surveying? We had a Loach hover right past our building in Reston last year as they were inspecting lines. It was pretty cool.
If not that, I'd say student pilot.
I know there was a DHS/CBP Huey flying around somewhere yesterday evening. Landed back at Manassas around 2045. They've got two of them based there along with some Eurocopters.
Plain black with gold stripe Huey belongs to DHS built in 1973.
Actually make that three at Manassas. N72593, N72594 and N72595
