Police Helicopter

Bartronilic

Can helicopters stay in one place? And if so why is there a police helicopter right over my house since 11 o clock (more than an hour)? What did I do wrong? How do I make it go away?

Bartronilic

I'm being serious its really loud and annoying. Should I be scared? Are there burglars nearby?

their monitoring your internet use

They're more than likely looking for someone. Helicopter is the best way to find someone at night due to the infra-red camera that picks up bodyheat of someone hiding.

Call the cops and ask them what the deal is.

And to answer your question, yes they can stay in the same place.

Steoob

let us know what going on im dying to know

Bartronilic

I know everyone has had a polic helicopter moment, but this one is over an hour. Where are they hiding? In my garden? Cos if they are...

Quick, unplug your computer, take out the HD and stick it in the microwave. It's the only way you're gonna stay out of the 'joy.

Bartronilic

Houses in my area tend to get burgled during summertime so I don't know if thats anything to do with it. Its gone now. I can sleep. No sounds of sirens or anything though.

Slidey

You letting Jigsaw stay over by any chance?

Yes, but not perfect, unless they are on the ground.:) The trick is to fly into the wind at the same speed as the wind.

They probably aren't, they are merely near you house and the just sound like they are overhead.

Saskia

Its over my estate now :mad:

What the hell like?!

Big b*stard of a noisy thing.

This is a joke

Does fly around my area a few nights a week, very annoying!

Could be anything, looking for fleeing suspects, taking aerial photographs of road traffic accident site, monitoring traffic or people movement, there is 101 reasons it could be above you.

I agree its noisey but neccessary evil if its keeping your community that bit safer

You should get a land based air defence system. No home is complete without one. I got mine in the honey dew green shade.

Welcome to earth Nuggles.

Nuggles

Why? I mean......it's the gardaí. And how often can they really use them.

martinr5232

Allday everyday pretty much!

Everyday is a schoolday! eh nuggles?

electric69

And if I told you how much it costs to run per hour you would probably cry knowing where all your tax is being spent!

Nuggles

Maybe my brain has gone a bit mush due to the late hour but what exactly are they using the helicopter for?

Looking for someone i would imagine?

When we were kids back in the 70ies we used to spend summers on my uncles farm in South Co Down, the British Army choppers used to hover over the farm regularly, we would run out into the fields with hurley sticks and pretend to shoot them down

when i lived in royal canal park (in between finglas and cabra) it would be hoverin above my house more nights than not for ages.

I hardly see how an RPG can help. Unless you fire magic missile or something ..

Magpie!

There was a long while there where I was convinced the garda pilot was perving on me.

He was over my house every night.

He's gone off me now.

sebastianlieken

solution: throw rocks at it. Alternativly, take out the auld hurl n sliotar and see if you can hit it.




actually, dont do that.... it's kinda mean. I think I may know why they're jus hovering there, maybe they ran outta petrol, or broke down....flat tire like? so they're just waiting for the tow-....eh.....airplane/helicopter

He's not a Garda, he's in the Air Corps.

My Ma's gaff (no jokes please) is near there and I remember that helicopter hovering for ages. The noise from it is unreal. Must be some dodgy **** going on near Scribblestown or something. Plenty of fields there for people to hide in! Could have been the Garda National Hide-and-Seek championships?

Manic Moran

I'd argue that they can only stay in one place in the air as long as they have fuel.

Helicopters don't fly. They just beat the air into submission.

NTM

The Gardai have Helicopters and a fixed wing asset too, these are piloted by members of The Irish Air Corps based at Casement AB Baldonnel. The helicopters they use are EC135 T2's and a BN-2T-4S Defender 4000 Aircraft.

It looks like he dug it up in Glasnevin.

So many 'where the hell is that guy gone' posters on this thread.

AnonoBoy

I don't understand. I saw this thread on the first page of After Hours and responded but yet my post is the first for 2 years.

What gives?
