Yes, Vancouver is the town of the 2010 Winter Olympics
I live right on the water where the Olympic Village is. I took a walk there tonight and security is very tight. The security guys are very idle, so they look for anything to do. I seem to be a curious guy, checking things out, looking at security installations, (just feel like I want to know how things work), so sure enough, as I come back from my walk the security guys are huddling together looking into the water at the same spot where I stood before, when I was just idly gazing around. Ahh well.
Anyway, for the purpose of tracking helicopter flights over the Vancouver harbour, (they likely originate from YVR and return to YVR - so they are not like 'tracking an air line that arrives to / departs from YVR') I am still trying to find a way that I can specifically identify such helicopter flights and what things they are trying to do, i.e. aerial photography, surveillance, policing, sight-seeing, etc. I have looked up the control tower telephone number for YVR, and that's the next place I will try. I believe now however, that my leads are about to run dry, because the flight operator (government) could choose to block the flight detail.
Thanks for your patience & thoughts, Chris.
