The Los Alamitos base is a large Joint Forces base just south of L.A. (30 miles) and about 90 miles north of San Diego's Camp Pendleton. It has a big air strip, but is usually pretty quiet. I've lived in the Los Alamitos area for decades and have never seen helicopter exercises like this.

They've been flying over my neighborhood the last couple nights making a lot of noise. Those choppers produce quite a racket just by whirring by. They're doing it again tonight. It's really fucking up my sleep.
