There are a lot of reasons to suspect that this "story" is propaganda.
A company which provides helicopter tours of the Milwaukee area flies out of Mitchell airport. Earlier this year, there were some noise complaints, so the company changed a few things.
But....
Months after the first complaints about a noisy addition to the neighborhood near Mitchell International, residents say the helicopter tour company upsetting them made a change.
But some say that change hasn't helped this summer.
...Nicholas Castellanos and at least one neighbor, don't seem to mind the helicopter traffic.
"I wouldn't say it really impacts day-to-day life. It's not really too much of a bother to us," said Castellanos. ...
OK. Nick doesn't mind. So the hunt is on!!
...off-camera, others tell us it is a nuisance, especially on weekends, so much so they invited County Board Supervisor Ryan Clancy out to see for himself.
"And it was every 10 or 20 minutes, and it was, you know the volume of it was kind of conversation-stopping, and that's really not acceptable," said Clancy....
"Others". How many "others"? Why are they anonymous? Are they afraid of the helicopter company? Will it drop cluster-bombs on their patio like Joe Biden does to Russia?
Hmmmmm. Looks like a reporter wants to bury something.
Enter Ryan Clancy, North Shore-born Socialist and County Board member!!! He'll save the day!!
...Clancy went undercover, booking how own tour over the weekend with MyFlight Tours, recording and posting it on social media.
"Much of the flight was as low as 200 feet, going over houses, and it's just not acceptable. It's too loud," said Clancy....
Maybe. And maybe not.
..."It doesn't show the whole story. On his actual flight we pulled the data, and the cruise altitude was 12-hundred feet above ground level," said Sergio and Cassandra Troiani, co-owners of MyFlight Tours.
The owners of MyFlight Tours have their own account of Clancy's video, as well as their own video of it.
"That first little bit is the helicopter departing. So that was posted to basically fit his narrative. Rewinding that video 10 more seconds you'd see the helicopter on the ground there" said Troiani. ...
..."In our climb out there's a big cemetery that's right next to the highway and railroad tracks, we use all of that," said Troiani.
The Troianis said once the helicopter gets to any residential area, pilots are at a minimum of 1,000 feet above ground....
Anyone familiar with the area knows about the tracks and the cemetery. Routing over them is very easy to do. By the way, anyone familiar with runway 19-Right's landing path will tell you that the planes are noisy and fly over a helluvalot more homes than some dinky little chopper.
Channel 58 has a love relationship with Clancy, the Socialist. Whenever he wants press, they're johnny-on-the-spot.
We're not saying that Clancy is a LIAR, of course. Socialists and Democrats never LIE.
But we will tell Mr. & Mrs. Troiani to look into the Waukesha County Airport. Flight for Life runs out of there; we're used to the (not loud) noise--and it's close enough to Milwaukee for very nice tours.

A flock of lake gulls make more noise than those little Robinson Ravens.
Even so, the only noise abatement necessary here is for the Ravens to gain more vertical before turning out from the ramp. ATC giving them +500' before clearing the fence on their way to 1200' northwest is doable all day every day. And a bit of an extra climb out rush for the customers.
