This is why they landed but when the Club safety officer assured them it wasn't any of his club members they were happy and left. The Police didn't mention FAA registration at all. ( I got these details second hand but I think that is the gist of it)
They may have been friendly but the heilicopter was at risk, and trespassing. They should have sent a car.
