Don't Be Alarmed, That Helicopter Belongs In Waltham

If you see a helicopter hovering low over Waltham soon, please don't be alarmed.

Starting in two weeks, helicopters will be hovering over Waltham periodically inspecting NStar equipment, according to a Nstar spokesman. No exact date was given.

One type of flight, meant to inspect power lines, started on Monday, March 26. The work will be conducted each day, but during daylight hours only. No flights will performed on Easter Sunday. A Hughes MD500 helicopter with a dark blue tail and white body with a registration number of N369D will be used for the flights.

A second type of inspection will start on April 2. A white Jet Ranger helicopter with a registration of 37WA will be used.
