Hey!

Anybody in NE Indy know what was up with the UH-60's (aka Blackhawks) helicopters (3) that kept circling the area for almost 2 hours. At one point I thought they were landing in the plaza there at Binford and E. 62nd St.

It was just kind of weird to see them making complete passes in single file. I'd be more worried if there was a door gunner sitting in position! But most definitely a sound that would wake you up!

Possible training? I know that there is a helicopter base off I-74 between Shelbyville and Indy (not too far from Indiana Live Casino). I have known in years past that I would see a lot of helicopters come from the north (think Fortville/Anderson area) to this base. Not sure if there is another base towards the Ft. Wayne/Muncie area or what.

I also think they use the interstates/major roads to navigate. The one they had at IUPUI (their first aid copter with the red cross on the front) last year I ended up seeing flying basically over I-70, then as soon as they were almost due north of the Shelby County base, they turned and headed S/SE. So it might be something related to training.
