Helicopter Tours over Myrtle Beach

Last May we reported on noise issues locals know about and you should, too, before buying real estate in Myrtle Beach.
 
One problem area is the high-end Plantation Point subdivision with residents complaining about sight-seeing helicopter tours from nearby Helicopter Adventures, prompting one resident to say “… it is like being trapped in a really bad, never-ending episode of M*A*S*H.”
 
In litigation questioning whether the helicopter tour company is a permitted use in the county’s amusement-commercial zoning, last month Judge Larry Hyman ruled in favor of Helicopter Adventures.
 
The Sun News reported yesterday that Plantation Point resident Richard Hinde has asked Judge Larry Hyman for reconsideration of that ruling, and a hearing is scheduled for February 13, 2013 which could lead to further appeals with the South Carolina Court of Appeals.

 

For now, choppers continue to take off and land from the launching pad off 21st Avenue North behind NASCAR Speed Park.
