Has anyone seen the Blackhawk helicopters over SA today?
Is this just training or an air show? I've never seen them here.

Maybe they are there to make sure that no one riots after they realize that the market is collapsing and the DOW has fallen 700 points! Crazy times and a wild ride ahead.

They routinely fly over SA as they go from the various bases. This is nothing out of the ordinary. Four flying in formation is pretty standard.

If they're black, don't stare at them. We know who you are, and if you stare at us, we'll come by in the middle of the night and visit you!

Seriously, as banker said, they are common over S.A. Might be medivacs out of Ft Sam, or down from Ft Hood; but I see Blackhawks all the time. Heck, they even land at Camp Bullis on occassion.

Cheers! M2
