Great idea about tracking the 'choppa.
It seems to use the Pompano Beach Airport as its home base, so unless specified all logs start there.
N212SP is owned by “Airman Helicopter Inc.” so it appears to be a charter chopper. It is NOT frequently flown.
Nov 24: Busy day of shuttling to/from places, but note the loops before landing in Pompano Beach:
Started outside Port St. Lucie, Treasure Coast Airpark
Causeway Island, stopped for about 10 min
Vero Beach, stopped for about 30 min at an undeveloped field (not airport) - near Game Street, FWIW.
Stuart, stopped at Witham Field for literally 30 seconds
Palm Beach Shores, flew two circles over the tidal zone at latitude of Bamboo Rd.
Ocean Vue, flew one circle over the tidal zone at latitude of Sevilla Dr.
Landed at Pompano Beach Airport
Nov 28: Flew laps over a nature preserve, landed in Ft. Lauderdale for 2 min, then returned.
Dec 08: Went to southern Palm Beach and without landing U-turned over the tidal zone (around Algoma Rd, Kings Rd. a block or two north of the infamous Mar-a-Lago) and returned. Joyride? Algoma Rd reminds me of algo…rithm.
Dec 14: Went to Pompano Community Park - literally a few blocks away (to pick up PP?) and then flew right back to the airport for the event.
I don’t have time to survey the land ownership of each property around the circle points, being the only remotely interesting indications in the flight history. I’ve taken this as far as I’m willing to go without feeling crazy or stalk-y. County records typically contain ownership info, such as this example of one property near the u-turn on Dec 8:

Mind you many wealthy people likely have obfuscated custody of the properties they own, so this might be a futile endeavor. No, Ryan Cohen or Carl Icahn don’t live anywhere near where the chopper went, although I discovered they do live within a mile of each other (Indian Creek, Bal Harbour).
