JT, look at what you wrote, I can understand anyones frustration with this, but that helo pilot's mission is to save lives, he had to make a decision, put yourself in his shoes for a minute, can't be a malicious act, it's one of life/safety.
I would not see this as a reason to dislike any particular people.
Now, I can also understand your side, we all get heated up and sometimes it takes a little while to sort things out and think rationally, that's part of life as I see it.
I'll share this with you, about 2 weeks ago, I spotted a flegdling robin in my yard on the bank of a cut I made for a new garage bay. I figured he was mature enough to fly, but crept up from the top and figured I'd grab him by surprise, if he could fly, well he's healthy, no not the case, though he hopped up and came right to me, with his mouth open, believe it or not, well I took him in and right away, insects, berries, moistened chicken and in no time he was perking right up, I knew I'd have seen him off, he started taking berries from the tree on his own and pecking at insects. Had him caged up outside just in case momma did come back, well I go in to have some dinner, and the neighbors wretched cat got him someghow. You know, some might think it weird, so what, but the little guy really meant the world to me, and I wanted to skin that cat alive. Well you can't do that, but I was livid, some would say what over a bird ??? Yup, I felt terrible because he was depending on me and I let him down, it's an awful feeling, my first reaction was to skin that cat, but that aint the answer. Boy I've re-habbed a few birds in my time and theres no greater feeling than seeing one off when the time comes, this guy would have been around, you should have seen him perk up when he saw me, I could call him over and he'd jump right up on my hand.
See what you can do, maybe you've got a claim there somehow, if not be grateful that the person who was evacuated lived and was better off because of it, you could also help by educating the people who fly by letting them know about crop damage, learn from this one, similar situation, they might be able to do different.
All in all, good to let some steam off, better to reason than to do something you'll regret, best of luck with it !

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
