I am asking cause I feel sorta bad now. I live in a mobile home park. One of the nicer ones in the area. Well, at all hours of the night and day, we could count on a convoy of all sorts of low-flying Army helicopters from the Army base about 30 miles away. And by low flying, I mean so low you could see the lug-nuts on the wheels. I am talking, Apaches, Blackhawks, Cobras, Chinooks, Hueys and what not. Some days I work split shift, so I come home to sleep. Well on Friday, I had JUST fallen asleep, and 5 Apaches come flying over head. I look out the window, and it looks like if they were flying any lower, they would have caught their wheels on the power lines. Well, I called the regional FAA director. Today, he called me back and told me the Commanding Officer has rerouted them. I was primarily thinking about my sleep, but I hope I saved the neighbor hood from potential disaster. I mean can you imagine what would happen if one of those helicopters crashed into the neighborhood at the speeds they fly at??? Was I wrong in calling the FAA???
