4000 takeoffs and landings? So that would be 2000 flights a week then. Not exactly crazy numbers for a major tourism hub. Imagine if they saw Oshkosh. Oh, the humanity!

'With the activity they have had and the amount of take-offs and landings, the flying in every weather and the multiple [flights] into relatively confined areas, we were just worried if they had an accident it could land on boats or restaurants," resident Don Espey said.

So VFR Tourism flights are operating in fog and heavy rain now? Pontoon helipads are not confined areas.

The frequency of joy ride chopper trips in the area led Mr Espey to create a group called the Coalition Against Environmental Pollution.

So all those boats on the water burning diesel is fine. Are they tracking powered boat movements per week?
