The route they took wasn't particularly close to where the jetbacks were spotted. I don't think it is that - although I don't know enough about aviation to know what they were doing or how rare of an occurrence they are.
- thewebcount 6y agoAs far as how rare they are - helicopters in LA are a daily occurrence. I used to live in Mar Vista, just a few blocks from Venice Beach, and they flew over our house every night. There were times when they flew so low they caused the water in our pool to ripple (though that was rare). Now I'm down in Westchester, and we get fewer, but they're still around frequently. I saw some yesterday, but think they were just regular LAPD, and not these particular ones. (And looking at the map of their route, they didn't fly over us.)
- asdff 6y agoHelicopters are practically a native bird here, they are incredibly common. I've been working outside for the past hour and spotted my third flying overhead already in that time span. LAPD also always has at least two birds in the air for like 20 hours out of the day, but there are tons and tons of private operators and just plain old rich people who commute like this (most famously probably Kobe Bryant given he recently died commuting by helicopter).
