End of the Day

Rancho Bernardo, CA

A bone of contention for many area residents is the fact that Marine helicopters fly at relatively low levels up and down the I -15 corridor between Miramar MCAS and Camp Pendleton. Usually they don’t bother me, but some evenings the house shakes from the sound of their rotors.

Start shooting spitballs at 'em, and they'll take the hint. :-)

Very nice.

The rotor on the right or rear of the helicopter appears to be missing one blade???? Shouldn't there be 3 in order to maintain balance?

Kind of reminds me of the old "M.A.S.H." series. Nice capture
