But Helicusco license had expired and don't know if they got it again. I've not heard anything about it again. It's still a complicated issue cause experts who are against it says that the 120 decibels generated by helicopters obligate birds and other animals to migrate from the zone. If so, I wouldn't agree with helicopter services, too.
