KGO7 helicopter hovered half an hour on top of my house at 6am today [View All]

This morning we awoke to a helicopter hovering directly above the roof of our house from about 6:05 until 6:42 this morning. And apparently at less than the 500 ft minimum requirement over a residential area. It was a blue A Star helo with a big 7 painted on it. And the KGO7 receptionist admitted they knew they had a helo in our neighborhood at that time, which was while I was on the phone complaining to the FAA offices with the rotors as backround noise.

We live near the 680 freeway and expect a helicopter and sirens weekly if not daily. But in 10 and a half years of living here we have not once had a tv helo sit atop our house for half an hour.

And to the KGO receptionist who wondered why I was so rude, take these calls with some sense of a person having a helo sitting on top of their house at 6am for 30+ minutes, your KGO7 helo. Thank you for admitting to having a helo over our house and for painting your station logo on the A star, it made it much easier to complain to the right FAA offices.
