Saw 5 helicopters flying in formation (sort of hehe) in that direction over Ballajura an hour or two ago - assume they would be headed to that area.

Thanks wasaint!
They looked pretty cool flying that close together, but it was the awesome roar that made me run outside to see what the hell was going on.
