Noise Battle Begins: Dial 1-800-HELL-icopter

Huge DISCLAIMER: the above number is NOT the number to dial if you have a helicopter related complaint. It would be awesome if it was, but it's not. The actual numbers to call are below.

Undoubtedly, helicopter news is going to rank right up there with piping plover news this summer in the Hamptons. Senator Schumer is all over the issue like a teenage, East Hampton summer deputy on a stickerless parked car at the beach—no quarter will be given.

So far the Senator's efforts have resulted in 70% of helicopter flights out east traveling on the proposed routes over less-populous areas of the island. The other 30% are expected to get in line or suffer the consequences.

We're heavy gamblers here at Plum, and our money is massive complaints. The over-under for Memorial Day Weekend complaints is 112. Place your bets in the comments.

Helicopter Complaint Numbers:
Eastern Region Helicopter Council: 845-353-6050,
East Hampton Airport: 631-537-1130
Gabreski Airport: 631 -852-8095.
