Reply to comment by philaiv in New foxtrot is now in the air by Douseigh

But you still don’t need bigger planes to do that. That’s the point…

The Foxtrots were too old for the FAA to allow them to fly anymore. One had been ground permanently already, which is a big deal here considering that Baltimore Police have had already one fatal helicopter crash.

IIRC these have lower maintenance costs and longer maintenance intervals (which is why they bought 3 instead of the 4 foxtrots).

Yes but we don't know why it's bigger. We only know that OP has identified that it's bigger. Because of that I was only commenting on how helicopters are being used to yell at children is a commonly used phrase in this subrreddit, not anything about the helicopter being bigger. I apologize that my original comment wasn't more clear.

Edit: There is no need to vote u/MrBurittoThePizza's comment down. This does read like it was written by an AI lol

You do not need a flying vehicle at all to tell kids to get out of a pool what the fuck is wrong with people?

So that one occurrence is all the police have used helicopters for, for what, a few decades now? Ever?

Wow, they must have a lot of fun just flying around doing nothing 99.9999999999999999% of the time!

We are talking about that one specific instance. If you want to talk about the use of the helicopter go literally anywhere else in this thread.
