Black Helicopters: They scare people!

[500 Fan]

If you operate a black helicopter, make sure you don't fly where anyone can see it. Apparently, they scare people.

I fly a black one, although an R44 doesn't look that scary I think...
I always thought the black colour somehow renders me a low-flying-permit :hmm:

What colour was Blue Thunder?? I think that answers everything and anything else wikipedia knows all, Black helicopter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_helicopters)

Heh...I love the way that the first people Jenny Public contacts on seeing a 'goverment agency' helicopter hovering around is not the authorities (who might actually know what's going on)...but the local news station!

Also, now I know why everyone runs away when I show up in the black R44 :ok:

When fearing for your life, why call the police, when you could call...

Your local news channel!

Self preservation ?

Isn't black the new color for the SAR UK airframes ? I do hope those survivors don't get scared on seeing one! High Vis Black - obviously works.

Pas.

Black helicopters sure as hell scare me. I spent a while having to clean a fairly large one. :{

I think the whole "black helicopter" meme got started with that silly movie Capricorn I.

Or does it predate that?
