Possible mosquito control, but in this case there was no cloud or residue behind the aircraft and it repeatedly flew over a bunch of empty docks at the marine,
The houses are behind the cameraman and if the chopper had flown over the homes most of us retired old farts would have called the cops or the nearest FAA facility with a complaint. (200 feet, steep turns and noisy as hell)
We are near the beach and near the ocean so we are used to see the orange USCG helicopters fly low to search or for SAR training, this civilian craft was puzzling however and still a mystery if not on a mosquito run or on some sort of a mapping mission.
Thanks for the comments.
