[quote=Anonymous]Yes as PP said, the two bladed Army helicopters and Air Force UH-1's are flying the old two bladed very loud design. It is inexpensive to fly but loud. More modern updated blades are four bladed. Better harmonics. Unfortunately new VIP aircraft cost money and the same people complaining about the noise would complain about replacing all of the old aircraft with new ones. So they stick to the beltway and the river for the most part. The inexcusable one is the Coast Guards Dolfin they insist on flying over the city despite it having no operational relevance. But then again, they are at the back of the line for helicopter upgrades and better to use it to carry VIPs than attempt to hoist somebody from the water with it. [/quote]
