Default Helicopters on 66....
May be old news, may not be. Keep an eye in the sky when you're on I-66. I watched a police helicopter pace a car heading down I-66 earlier tonite.

but have you ever seen one doing that in person? or as you read the sign i'd think that would be weird to see a helicopter actually pacing a car

Thanks for the heads up Patrick, I tend to get a little heavy on the foot when I am on 66.

I think he means the pilot or co-pilot of the chopper would time how fast a car below would go from a mile marker to another.
