They're circling nom stop in Alexandria. Freaking annoying noise pollution for no reason. Miserable living here.

We are at war. I get nervous about unexplained aircraft.

Some people are highly interested in the comings and goings of helicopters in this area. Probably not the OP. But DC is the most intensely surveilled city on earth. If you know what I mean. Maybe you don't. That's OK.

I started a similar thread about Bethesda a couple of hours ago.

From the category of copters used, it think it could be either military having urgent nightime meetings, or heightened state of alert (or practice for same) in our capital.

We've had a ton in Vienna (near Tysons) in the last week. Normally we have what we assume are military helicopters every Tuesday around 9 or 10, but this was several nights this week and several passes.

Ghetto birds are police helicopters. Alexandria PD doesn’t have one. In emergencies they call on FFX PD to use their chopper for them. But it doesn’t happen very frequently because it’s $2,700/hr for the aircraft, fuel, and crew.
