Oh i thought either that or look for heat from grow lamps to bust indoor growers. Thanks for the info. It would be great to learn what kine techniques and technology green harvest uses so we know what to expect when they're around.
They can see the heat coming off the soil. Organic material stays warm in your pot/patch. So those fukas can see your grow in the evening.
They used to fly night choppers. Grids. When I lived BI. Then they watch the video later on.
So cover your pots. Or if in the ground put couple inches sand on top.
They don't even need FLIR to see plants with how low they fly. I've flown my drone over my plants and budding plants are super obvious from a couple hundred feet up...there is just no other plants that grow with that same structure when viewed from above.
Don Shearer that owns Windward Aviation on Maui has been flying GH missions for a very long time, I'm sure he has a very good eye for it by now.
Just heard a chopper flying pretty low in Ocean View. He didn't stick around for long though. I couldn't see him but it didn't around like the regular tourist helicopter flight pattern, sounded too low.If he comes back I'll let you know.
Two GH flyovers in South Kona in July. The first appears to have been a 'training' flight that coincided with a manhunt for a cop killer, so everyone was off their guard thinking they were helping local LEO.
They came again a week later, same three choppers. Spent quite a bit of time in my neck of the woods. Seems like they could do their counting in a matter of minutes, but they hung out for about 45 minutes.
I look forward to the day when GH is shut down in HI.
They flew almost every island in July but spent the most time on the BI even though there was a cop killer on the run and lower puna is devastated from the lava and its fumes.
I don't know if there's a newer thread or not. I wanted to give a heads up that there were two choppers in close proximity that came from south to north across Kona Palisades around 5pm today. They didn't look like tourist choppers and I NEVER see choppers coming through here. It just doesn't happen. If there's a better thread, or a newer one, can someone link it, and also paste my comment to give others a heads up. I don't know if they're running operations but it would be good to have an update.
