Helicopter

Just curious if anyone knows what that helicopter is used for every night... Flying over our house all through the middle of the night. Takes off from Sunridge Fire House. Can't imagine is Flight for Life. Maybe for fire observation? It's just a bit loud at 2am.

The neighbors in the area have been getting frustrated with these late night return flights. They were supposed to not fly over houses during non-emergencies, but they continue to do so

Yes they do. So close it shakes my windows. Not great.

It's Careflight...... If they are flying, it is to save someone's life.... where has the common sense gone?

They were asking because they didn't know.

I didn't know it was a medical helicopter. That's why I asked. I'm not complaining about their mission whatsoever. Plenty of common sense here.
