Helicopter Tours over Myrtle Beach
A year ago we talked about noise issues locals know about and you should, too, including continuous complaints from residents in the upscale Plantation Point subdivision about a nearby tourism-related chopper launching pad. For now, it seems Helicopter Adventures has won the legal battle.
Moral of the story: When you’re shopping for a home in a resort destination, find a reputable representative who’s well familiar with the particular area in which you’re looking. Ask open-ended questions about noise, traffic, and whether there are any known issues that residents complain about. Otherwise, you too could find yourself “…trapped in a really bad, never-ending episode of M*A*S*H.”

UPDATE:
On April 19, 2016, the Horry County Council unanimously approved an ordinance requiring new helicopter companies offering tourist rides to operate from a public airport. However, Helicopter Adventures has been grandfathered to allow its current location at 21st Avenue North near Broadway at the Beach and Plantation Point subdivision until August 2023. Read more.
