No, I live near Quantico so I hear choppers and things going boom all the time. Sounds like freedom to me. |

They can see you even under trees.
They track you with infra red and shine lights in your backyard. They are watching you. Sgtar15 |

How the fuck do they "pop up over me unexpectedly?" You can hear them for miles. And if you live in NC, you probably have a lot of Bragg helicopters flying around. Don't worry, unless you are trying to make a nuke in your kitchen, nobody's going to fast rope into your backyard. Reminds me of this wack job in VA that shot a news helicopter that landed near his house. The helicopter didn't even realize they had been shot at, but then old dumbass goes and cuts his rifle up with a saw. He got arrested anyway, and hopefully, committed. |

No.
Our local GA airport has had a major expansion in helo flight ops over the last couple of years. I can ID almost anything that flies over the house by sound alone. The only thing that pricks up my ears is when the Sheriff's Hughes (MD) 500 make a low pass. Usually means they're looking for someone. |

Ar you kidding? I almost always have to look and see if it's military, and what kind of bird it is. I love helos.

Nah, other side of the state. By unexpectedly I meant... aw, screw it.

Just don't shoot at them... but if you do, you lead helicopters by one football field.

I heard that if your pour hot bacon grease on your head, FLIR cannot pick up your trace.
Anybody try this yet?

I hate when I'm walking down the sidewalk and a dog comes out after me so I end up stepping onto the street right in front of the bus. The bus hits me but I don't feel a thing and come to find out I am still standing there. All the people on the bus look strange, like they suffered a tragic ballooning accident over the River Thames. When I find myself in front of Kentucky Fried Chicken I learn that there is no extra crispy that day and the potatos are a little dry.
One time after this happened I stubbed my toe on a curling iron that Annette Funicello's neice left in the hottub. It didn't work anyway since the green jello got into it right next to the french poodle. |

I love it! Reminds me the cry of "bird inbound" on a PZ somewhere, flying in the door with my knees to the breeze and a '60 on my lap, and flying NOE....I get goosebumps when the local Blackhawks go by, I wish they'd come lower.....

The only time helicopters fly over my neighboorhood is with searchlights looking for the perp that robbed the local 7-Eleven/Quik-E-Mart/what-have-you. Then I wonder if the guy is on my street.

(Zen quickly looking both ways and back again, with a frightened look on his face and a shaky tremble in his voice) "It's the Cong man, ... the're everywhere" Zen "This is my black helocopter, there are many like them, but they are after me" |

Low-flying planes made me a little edgy after September 11th.

It's the only thing (sound) that reminds me of 'Nam.
