Hovering

Hovering

It was far too quiet in the West End today. Thankfully someone had the foresight to send a pair of these to hover overhead all afternoon…

Our area, too! Rob says RCMP looking for grow ops. Very low and very noisy.

They are called AS355’s, otherwise known as the ‘Twin Star’, a twin engine variant of the A-Star.

They certainly aren’t RCMP for a couple of reasons:

1) The RCMP have their own A-Stars, dressed in mountie colours, not grey.

2) Although the RCMP have jurisdiction in Vancouver, they only back up the Vancouver Police when asked. The Vancouver Police do not have their own helicopter.

… and that’s sweet, angelic music emanating from them, not noise.
