Black Helicopters: They scare people!

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

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

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

Scary Black Helicopters.....

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?
