Narrative:
Tonight a helicopter went over the top of one of my hangars at roughly 20 feet above the roof. I consider this very unsafe especially when there is room in all directions to enter and exit the airport safely without endangering hangars or people. This happens frequently and the pilots do not seem to care. I am worried that one of these helicopter is going to drop through my roof; destroying airplanes and possibly killing people in the hangar. I think most of the problems with helicopters at this airport could be eliminated if they had a set pattern to enter and exit the airport.
