Until I lived up here the only close interaction I typically had with a helicopter were traffic helicopters.<br /><br />It wasn't until up here when I realized they were used for search and rescue and heard them hover overhead that I got the 'feeling'. I was simply saying I could relate to your description.Thomas F.

When I heard the sounds of the helicopter , I hope of the best of the person too! There plenty of people that know when the helicopter is over head someone need help!Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16489695864538152859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909873906945302299.post-24916173896948098372009-06-25T08:40:37.438-04:002009-06-25T08:40:37.438-04:00Gillian, I can relate to 'that dreaded sound&#...Gillian, I can relate to 'that dreaded sound'. Here in the mountains it means someone is lost. Just last week I heard the helicopters circling in vain looking for a fit 70 year old man who is lost on the mountain. They've given up the search and everyone assumes the worst. <br /><br />Funny, but I thought I was the only one who thought that about the rotars of a helicopter, but it makes sense that living out near the point you would be one of the few to understand it's banshee song.<br /><br />Whenever I hear it I hope for the best but expect the worst.<br /><br />Here's hoping the boater(s) were recovered.Thomas F.
