Helicopters

[cmsally]

OK today (and that doesn't include when I'm in my office, because I can't really hear anything), I must have heard at least 30 helicopters going over. Just in the last 10mins there were 5 of them.

It's been the same for about 3-4 days now. Most seem to be going from airport to (at a guess Mae Rim - army camp?).

Normally I might hear 1 helicopter a month if that.

They sure are burning the helicopter fuel.

Anyone heard any interesting rumours?

No. I live near the airport and never hear much heli noise. More often hear the fighter planes.

have had several each evening go over my place up on huay kaew. they look like military transports, i did wonder if they were anything to do with the asean conference, assuming that's still going ahead?

Nope conference has been postponed. There were quite a few when Somchai was holed up here, but now there seem to be more. One going over as I type.
