[quote=Anonymous]I've always been bothered by the frequency of military flights around the DMV. I understand and support use for transport of president / VP, but who else in gov't is high enough risk / high enough time value to merit flying around in a helicopter. The military seems to think b/c they have helicopters they might as well use them. But it causes noise, carbon emissions, is expensive, and yesterday, a tragic accident. Anyone know the protocol for when military can/can't use helicopters to transport people around. (Or whether yesterday's flight was in fact say a patrol / safety mission, rather than saving a general fifteen minutes in the car). [/quote]
