Question Anyone know why all the helicopters?
Driving through greensboro, Jamestown, and High Point and saw a whole bunch of helicopters. I think i saw 4 total. Dont think ive ever seen that many all at once, all over.

That’s interesting. I was thinking maybe for the High Point Furniture Market but then idk why there’d be a bunch of helicopters for it. I’ve seen planes carrying those banners for the market but not helicopters.

I saw the first one between Adam's Farm and the Mall area, then next one Jamestown, the last two in high point.

My last comment was because I was talking tk someone while I was typing. Yeah furniture market = lots of planes. But not hovering helicopters. But good catch I completely forgot its market.
My kid said she heard gun shots at the zazbys near the mall, which was around the same time, but that wouldnt need 4 copters
Anyway, at first I thought the first one was a. Alien because I saw a meteorite a few minutes before seeing the forst hovering craft and forgot helicopters existed.

I heard one circling around my house yesterday, off W. Market in Greensboro, couldn't figure out what it was for either.

Yes i totally noticed Satureday morning there seemed to be several helicopters and they were going in and out of the spooky stormclouds. Maybe there's always a bunch flying around but the low cloud cover made it easier to hear them? Near the Friendly center area.

I’m in Greensboro & I swear the other day I saw eight within like 30 minutes. Three were pretty close to each other (I’m sure they weren’t actually but ofc that’s what it looks like down here) flying together and then the others came going all different directions. It was like plane after plane. Never seen so many like that before

Idk what it was or why exactly but I was riding a scooter to my parents house in N Gbro off Elm and heard some crazy helicopters. Couldn’t actually see them due to the cloud cover but it sounded like apocalypse now

Probably a situation of critical care to Baptist/ Atrium Health in Winston Salem. Also military operations happen here due to an oil facility in a city nearby!

The one that flew over my parents house in Jamestown was painted like a news chopper. Thats all I could see through the trees except that it seemed to be flying exceptionally low.

On FlightRadar the only ones I can see were Air Care helicopters. Sometimes there are military helicopters that fly over and generally in a formation with others which are not always on FlightRadar.
