Citizen submitted report to the Cape Charles Mirror – “Has anyone mentioned a low-flying helicopter over Bay Creek? It happened last night at 7:25 p.m. The helicopter, which looks much like this Navy one, was flying just above roof tops in Marina Villages. There was a guy in orange sitting on the inside edge of the chopper with a video camera. The chopper flew down E. Bay Dr. dangerously low. It thought the aircraft was in trouble and trying to make an emergency landing. What the pilot did was an obvious breach of FAA regulation, even for helicopters. I was just curious if you had heard from anyone else, or know anything about this incident. By the time I went back into the house to get my phone, I was unable to get a good photo.”
Editor’s Notes: We also received this “There was a drone hovering over the dance floor at the Bayamo party. I found that intensely disturbing. Who is doing this?” Good question, who is doing this, and when is the Town going to put a stop to it?

Really, straffing? Isn’t that a little over the top? This imply a bullets were being fired. Come on, if you are going to post save the sensationalism.
Editor’s Note: We must remind you that the word sensationalism appears 19 times in our company’s mission statement, and is one of our core values. But, here we did employ a literary technique called a pun. As it was reported to us, a low flying helo was ‘SHOOTING’ video while hovering over their decks and porches, and one person noted that she was sure they were ‘SHOOTING’ right into her living room.
