This is Mclean we are talking about here, not Hybla Valley.

Unless they are looking for some bankers on the run at 6 am

There is a lot of helicopter activity between Langely and Downtown. Gives civil servants a chance to pretend they are important. Or it could be just ghetto birds (police copters), then you get the new copters following, then you get the medivacs............

So you've seen the black helicopters too? I've been seeing them for years but nobody believes me!

Morning rush hours are awful if you live near any of the major roads, noisy traffic helicopters hover for hours. When we lived in Vienna, near rt66 and the beltway, mornings were very noisy because of the helicopters.

That's a Ghetto Bird, not one of the major downfalls of existing underneath a major government flight path.

Do they even have Ghetto Birds here? I swear I hear something low flying over SE every now and then, it rattles my windows.

In this area FairfaxOne would be up chasing teens trespassing at your local middle school at night...

I live fairly close to 66/495 and there are occasionally helicopters that just hover over that area. They are almost certainly the traffic copters.
