So this week I went with an article that detail’s the every so popular helicopter arrivals that are making too much noise in Tony NY summer hotspot. Stars like Brad and Angelina are doing it, Jimmy Buffett and Wall Street powers brokers are do it as well. What is it you ask… taking helicopter rides to the Hamptons that what it is. Although it is expensive many find it to by speedy and convenient.
What may be a convenience for some is the worst nightmare for others. Many people in the area say that the sound on a Friday afternoon sounds like a war scene from a movie. To add insult to this injury, the outbound traffic on Sunday builds up so much that it can go into the early morning of Monday. Is this sound affecting the quality of life that many say the area has?
Wadsworth a local had this to say “He first became annoyed by the staccato thump-thump-thump of the helicopter blades while sitting in his hot tub years ago. It’s like having a rash. You know once you start to scratch the itch; it just gets worse and worse.” Now let’s take a step back for a moment. He just said while sitting in his “Hot tub”. Some people in the US have not even seen a hot tub let alone sit in one.
I guess money is no object to the people that use the service because a gentleman had this to say. “I’m a high-powered executive and my wife and kids are out here for the summer. If I can,t get here till 1 o’clock in the morning because I’m working on a hedge fund deal or something, I’m coming at 1 o’clock in the morning and I don’t care how much it costs.” He does not care how much it cost to get from one part of NY to the other as long as he gets there. Well at least some of us have money to throw around like that.
If this type of noise keeps up, Rep. Timothy Bishop states that he will consider “legislation mandating the FAA take action.” Although I do feel that people have a right to get from one location to another by any means possible, I do not think helicopters should be allowed to land in residential districts. No matter how much money you make, what ever type of high-profile position you hold in the work place, you still have to respect the wishes of others.
