Anyone else just see a black Apache helicopter fly by?
Apache over Brownsburg
That's because you're not a terrorist Cm. At the sight of a Warthog terrorists run and hide in the nearest cave, then seek out a clean pair of drawers. A similar reaction can be noted when Iraqi tank crews see A-10s. Surrendering to news crews and other random non-combatants is another reaction.No but a chinook flew over my house a couple days ago.
Though I do kinda get the willies when I see an Apache. Utility helos are pretty common. I see Blackhawks about every 30 days seems like. But to see something potentially so well armed overhead is just a bit odd and makes me ever so slightly uncomfortable. Strangely an A10 doesn’t have the same effect. Must be the fact that armed fixed wing craft are more common around here.
I was at lake Monroe the weekend before last, when this large group flew over. There were 4 or 5 Blackhawks, 2 Super Stallions, and 3 Chinooks. I was kind of surprised there wasn't an Apache in the group.I have been seeing a lot of black helicopter activity as of recently. Last week I heard what must have been some sort of squadron fly over. There seemed to be a large variety of pairs of several kinds of military helicopters flying over in a double row. The last two were Chinooks, it was awesome to see. I heard them coming long before I seen them and I was inside.

This week watched the B17 land at Greenwood, and a Super Hornet yesterday coming into the main airport.
I don't think they do it as often now, but I used to love it when A-10's would come over Monroe at or sometimes dipping below tree top level. Hearing those engines continue to echo through the hills after the planes were out of sight was awesome.

Even cooler to hear that gun fire! Of course, I wasn't on the receiving end of it so I never got the "pleasure" of FULLY enjoying it!

There was a huge thing at Atterbury this past week. I saw a few chinnoks there. I also saw the Apache fly over Paragon this past week.

I saw this last week when at SR 135 and Stones Crossing:
There ARE a lot of unsightly wires hanging over that intersection that's for sure!
