It does seem to be quiet down now. I think you’re right about military because they sound so big My Grandson is a Marine and flies in the helicopters and they had a training exercise over Big Bear a couple years ago so that could be it. Thanks everyone and have a good night.

Helo activity seems to have ceased...

Im hearing the helo activity, havent tried the scanner just yet...

No ADS so they’re military, I guess?

*theyre

And their being chased by drones

Yeah, there are two really big and wild helicopters that just keep going all over the lake. Maybe they’re training? Glad to hear there are no fires. Thanks.

Wild show going on over the lake tonight.

@BBnona, nothing locally here. Not seeing any fire aircraft near BB on AFF either.

Is there a fire somewhere in the area? lots of helicopter activity for the past half hour

I'm not excited for any delays, but man, they have needed to repair 38/Lugonia right there for so long. It'd be especially dangerous to someone not expecting it on a motorcycle. Happy to see that being fixed up.

Just teasin ya Van, that one's very common! That sounds sooo nice after all the heat we've experienced! Hopefully more to come. Looks like a slightly less active day tomorrow, then ramping back up over the weekend into next week! -Ben

and the temp has dropped to a lovely 67 degrees with .01" of measurable rain so far hopefully more coming

WX alert thanks for the correction! I hate mis-spelling and/or using the incorrect word that sounds the same.
