Air Force Choppers low flying over Magalies Farms
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2009 10:48 am
I just had a phone call from my father in law who has a parrot farm with in excess of 1000 of our fine-feathered-friends on the Magalies Ridge.
He told me that air force choppers often overfly his farm at very low level causing distress to his parrots. Parrots apparently don’t like the sound of a puma at 100feet above them!
3 “big choppers” came over the farm very-low-level this morning and landed on the farm too.
Being family of mine my father-in-law likes aviation and does not want to cause any trouble, merely give a friendly phone call to who-ever is in charge and ask them to fly a little higher for the parrots sake
.
Does anyone have contact details for someone at Air Force chopper section – Guessing it must be Swartkops? Once again, this is not to fight - Just a friendly request.
Cheers
