I just read the press release saying that the 677,000 people had over 1400 forums and workshops to chose from. That's a great accomplishment. An even greater accomplishment was how the sightseeing helicopters managed to fly low over each of the events at least once, and in the cases of the forums I attended several times.

How about they fly closer to the spectator line, or a little higher? I saw a photo of a forum where the presenter was talking away and everyone had their fingers in their ears. Oh wait, that was the F-22. Not much can be done to quiet that down, but the helo noise could be reduced.
