Why MD has not been flying air cover during the last few days is hard to believe!

I believe the police helicopters are still grounded due to a series of accidents not too long ago. They could be back up in the air, but I don't recall hearing about it.

Maryland has a lot of helicopters. The State Police operate 8 "Trooper" units which are equiped as LE and EMS transport. The City of Baltimore now has (I think) 4 brand new jet patrol craft, and each TV station has one, so it certainly is possible to get them all airborne. In fact, I have seen times when the news choppers were very clearly interfering with the "Troopers" getting in and out of accident and crime scenes. Breaking news has become a big time thing here in Socialist MD.
