Lately, I keep hearing copters flying around our area (Newport/Irvine) at late hours of the night. I don't know if they're police copters or not but it's really annoying, especially late at night when you're ready to go to sleep. You'd think we were living in Compton listening to how often they fly over our neighborhood.

Anyone know what's going on?

It's all Obama's fault?

Could be the helicopter activity had something to do with training and security.

We lived in Newport Beach/The Bluffs from 2008-2010 and there were helicopters flying around all.of.the.time in the evening and late night. I oftened wondered about that as well … what are they all doing … ?

We then moved to San Diego 2010-2011. No helicopters.

Now we are back in the OC living in the Platinum Triangle and once again there are helicopters flying above day and night … ?

Maybe living in the middle of Anacrime has something to do with it.

I noticed you don't have the guts to put your location.

I doubt it's medical because they circle the area. And if it's police, where is the landing strip?

Yeah, it is police. I have lived in Newport and Costa Mesa for most of my life, and the helicopters frequently circle the area at night. If you are lucky, they'll shine their huge light in your backyard...LOL. I believe that they appreciate your having outside lights on to aid them in whatever they are searching for. I don't like the idea of crime going on around me at night, but I do find the helicopters to be somewhat comforting in that the police are doing their job.
