past few mornings, a helicopter shows up around 6am and hovers about for around 5 minutes. i assume it's a news helicopter doing a traffic shot around exit 293 (where 40, 440, and US 1 meet up around crossroads), but there's a DOT cam at that intersection anyway. anyone else hear this? more importantly, if it IS news, anybody know which station? my money is on wral. i'm gonna give them a call unless someone on here knows better

JOHN P. TAXPAYER WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS- SWITCH TO SILENT JET PACKS PLEASE

It's just the local cops busting your chops about Lufthanza. No big deal.

Couldn't imagine the helicopter being there to report on traffic. The traffic is practically non-existent in that area at 6:00am.

They're probably just up there deicing the thing... or maybe the pilot is spying on an ex.

i got them- it IS wral

i heard the helicopter again around 6:45 this morning so i flipped over to wral. sure enough, traffic dude comes along with his fancy traffic map, the one that shows traffic flow with the green, yellow, and red lines. he specifically says "...and as you can see (pointing to a green line), traffic between Apex and Cary/Raleigh along US 1 is fine, but let's go to our helicopter sky cam just to confirm"

and bam, next shot is 440 near my exit, pull out a bit and yep, there's my apt. they weren't hovering over the 293 exit, they were more or less over the cary pkwy exits.

i'll let you guys know what happens after the call this morning

spoke with their assignment desk. i linked them to this thread told him the scenario- 7am shots of traffic, sure that's ok i guess. but the 6am shot and hovering for 15 minutes, it's a little annoying.

he said he understood and it's a producer call- he'd pass it along. will anything actually happen? i doubt it

but hear this tww- i did something

Love the sound of choppers. Especially the big fat ones with a propellars in the front and back. When I lived on the coast deep in the marsh I would see the military training their pilots all the time. If it wasn't sonic booms it was choppers. You get used to them after a while.

An apache tailed our car one time just for the lols of it. And by tail, I mean tail. He was low and straight up coasting behind us like he was just another commuter. I've seen a lot of crazy shit on Jarret Bay.

Years ago someone put collection jars in all the C-stores on campus to raise money for the Wood Hall Anti-Aircraft Canon Fund. They're were apparently tired of being woken up by the WRAL helicopter.
