I had finally had enough. The usual quiet here on the North Shore has slowly developed into living next to an airport. 6 private helicopters land and take off repeatedly throughout the day at the stable area at Turtle Bay. Then the military conducts its flyovers throughout the day all over the point. Add the usual Turtle Bay tour helicopters to the mix and I was ready to find some other noise free hideout. Man, what is going on? Are we all supposed to wear ear protection from now on? Thousands of people [residents] here thrive on the tropical, noise free, environment while a few pilots above ruin it for all of us.
Phew!
