Helicopters fly non-stop over Budapest, but why?
Due to Sunday’s Formula 1 race in Mogyoród, the helicopter traffic over Budapest increased significantly, and according to our readers, they assessed the noise level at several points in the city. Several people complained that it was impossible to rest where the machines were running for the second day.
The report of our reader, László:
“Yesterday, i.e. Saturday, between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., a black helicopter flew over Árpád híd-Forgách-Tahi-Béke-Gyöngyösi utca, then left in the direction of Újpest, but returned within 3-4 minutes, turned around and circled , they are quite loud, the window also had to be closed, because after 20 minutes the phenomenon is already annoying.”
Árpád lives below the Budaörs route, he wrote that the “party” started at 8:15 today and ended at half past eight on Saturday. He also reported the situation to the district and capital police, but they replied that they certainly had a permit and that it was because of the Hungaroring.
“They fly so close that my little son runs to us crying every time the helicopter arrives”
