The Ryder Cup left Brooklyn in a tailspin!<\/p>\n
The flyover borough was so tormented by the incessant buzzing from $1,275-a-seat charter flights ferrying wealthy golf gawkers to Long Island<\/a>, politicians are now demanding an outright ban on the exclusive, low-flying aircraft.<\/p>\n The pricey flights were not just low enough to rattle residents out of bed but they hovered in place long enough for them to watch the snobby passengers snapping selfies inside, according to a letter penned by northwestern Brooklyn representatives.<\/p>\n Helicopter noise plagued Brooklynites during the Ryder Cup last month.

Andrew Gounardes and US Rep. Dan Goldman seethes.<\/p>\n \u201cOur communities should not have to deal with relentless noise pollution so that the people chartering helicopter flights can breeze on by and avoid vehicular traffic or public transit. The companies are breaking the rules, and catering to a small number of ultra-rich people at the expense of everyone else\u2019s health and quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart your day with all you need to know\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Loud and low-lying helicopter rides are not new for Brooklynites, but the nuisance reached a peak during the three-day tournament last month at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale<\/a> as golf fans took to the skies to skirt intense ground transit.<\/p>\n The presence was so overwhelming that some residents called 911 out of fear that something sinister was taking over the skies, neighbors said.<\/p>\n \u201cMany people have equated it to waking up and thinking there was a military operation. Working up to dozens and dozens of helicopters is \u2014 especially in the state of the world \u2014 terrifying,\u201d said Briana Aguilar-Austin, who endured the three nights of torture in Boreum Hill.<\/p>\n Blade was selling one-way rides from Manhattan to Farmingdale on Long Island for $1,275 a seat. Blade<\/p>\n The five politicians collectively received more than 500 complaints over the three-day weekend, with neighbors describing the nuisance to The Post as the \u201ctalk of the town.\u201d<\/p>\n Flight data obtained by the pols showed that the chopper rides departed primarily from the Downtown Manhattan and West 30th Street Heliports, the latter of which is home to Blade, a ritzy chopper charter company <\/a>frequented by the likes of Andy Cohen, Jon Hamm and other celebrities.<\/p>\n
