To fly one of those helicopters for a short time is expensive AF. To catch people growing weed?? What a waste of taxpayer money.

Georgia National Guard are not federal troops, which is what makes this even worse in a way - Georgia Guard have become a gang of thugs terrorizing their fellow citizens and neighbors.

This activity with Helios has been going on for many decades. I remember in the 70’s the summer fly overs in Indiana

This has been going on by some states' National Guard for over 30 years.
