If you are down by the Superdome and helicopters are circling, landing
and taking off, I don't think you need to shoot three times to get
attention when there are 30k+ people milling around.
Then again, it could be the NIMBY folks who don't want any aircraft
flying around their house, creating all that disturbing noise. :-))
