Washington, D.C. residents: Hearing helicopters from military bases like ‘living in a war zone’

These idiots ! they have no idea what living in a war zone is, until You HAVE lived in a war zone You have NO concept at all. I do know the sound of a military chopper vs a civilian one, sure heard enough of them during My time in Vietnam. My reaction though it seems to run outside and see them pass over. For civilian choppers I don't bother, that doesn't interest me anywhere near as much. Have some fighter aircraft fly over and that also gets a reaction, I kind of miss being in operational areas for Military aircraft. A neighbor in an adjacent town is himself a pilot on a Bell jet ranger helicopter and live on top of a hill and has a chopper pad at His house. He was thrilled when some friends of his, all USMC chopper pilots made a low pass over his hilltop home with six Cobra gunships, that just lighted up His whole day, He loved it ! (His home was a hilltop wooded area with a good 20 mile unobstructed view so that didn't bother anyone and He loved it )

They're smoking some kind of dope.

Dang, I hear and see Blackhawks transiting overhead frequently, Camp Merrill is about 20 miles north. I love seeing them flying over.
