not a restful day

mellowtiggerI ended up drinking whisky after work every day this week. They were stressful days. That was fine.
Today, I went to my morning patrol. I came home with a slight headache. I thought maybe I'd just rest all day. Wrong.
Overhead surveillance has been so frequent all day long that it's just absurd. I was gritting my teeth and wondering how guerillas get access to anti-aircraft missiles. I'm not sure if there were multiple aircraft. I thought more than once that there was a plane rather than helicopter. Some special flights get to block their transponder from public review, and last week I watched a plane overhead that wasn't showing on FlightRadar24.com. For today, you can view the flight map for N119SP starting about 1pm Central and about 3pm Central. Apparently it takes about 20 minutes to refuel the helicopter. That's my house under the main tangled knot of each 2-hour flight.
I filed a noise complaint using this form:

Edit 8:50pm. Yes, here's a small plane flying overhead right now. *sigh*
