With the Chinooks safety record here in the UK, it's the last chopper I'd want to see flying overhead of me

There used to be a spitfire that flew around my home, but that was years ago.

No there are just American and French Jets and the RAF, who always fly much lower.

We have every once in a while the presidential helicopters flying over house when the Big Wigs come from or go to Camp David. Damn noise makers.
