We get Chinooks (aka Waka Wakas) over here a lot as for some daft reason they thinks going over the field behind us is a good training run.  Make a hell of a noise at times but we love it, an awesome sight seeing two of them that damn close

just never ask me to take a ride in one  noooo:
Well, whatever, nevermind

The bizarre thing here is that Pafos ATC make them fly the same circuit as the airliners...

So they fly over Pafos International, all the way to Pissouri 'downwind' and then all the way back to Pafos again (check it on Google Maps)...  noooo:

That is just dumb but probably safer to let your ATC keep with a plan that works if they can't understand how daft that is
