I was wondering what is going on after hearing helicopters fly over so many times. One is pretty close to here right now.

I think they're a lot lower than that! They are flying right over my house and I think I could see the whites of the eyes of the pilots, so to speak.

The last one I saw looked like it was at about 500 ft right over Santa Rita!

As per Lucky Guy above, I don't want anyone to think I was implying that I don't like the idea of them training. As 9grand wrote, a little notification would've been considerate. That's all.

Flight plans are typically made on a need-to-know basis, and if it is a military movement, such info is considered secret. The Department of Defense tends not to broadcast the exact location at any given time of its multi-million dollar assets. I wouldn't expect anything like a notice being given. If it was law enforcement advance notification would also be unlikely.

Here's the article that was posted earlier this afternoon

Not sure how much more notice one needs but it'll all be over soon enough. Mailers and phone calls would be a waste of resources.

I live right by the mall and its been going on for a good 2 hours now. It's really loud! there is 1 every few minutes. I read that article and that would be really annoying if that is going on until 1am. I dont understand why they couldnt have started alittle earlier!!

OMG LOL I was so nervous because I had no idea what was going on. Its good to know that they are just training! I had my window open and I was freaking out because it is LOUD like really LOUD! They seem really close to the ground but I have been looking and I can't see the helicopters or whatever they are. One is flying right over or near my house, right at this moment, its loud!!!

So I would like the commander in chief to personally call and notify me whenever a training exercise is scheduled in my area.
