Military excersizes north Indiana?

[Hardscrable]

I saw three passing by while kayaking in Syracuse today!

I didn’t see them but did hear them ( I think ). 6 miles west of Syracuse.

Hueys are usually out of Peru at the rehab shop there. That rotor wash is distinguishable from miles away. When I was a little boy my dad used to tell me stories about Hueys. I sure do miss him and those stories of the Korean and Vietnam wars.

I work right next to the Clark county airport, and yeah, nothing sounds quite like a Huey. It’s pretty rare to see or hear them, but probably once every few weeks one will come into the airport.

Looking back it definitely reminds me of growing up seeing helicopters transport the president( bush, Obama, trump, Biden) to camp David back in Maryland.

 

[BigRed]

Maybe after those scary militias up in MI!

fbi trying to kidnap the governor again?

Might have been 160th SOAR out of Ft. Campbell. Those cats fly all over the place doing their thing. If the S***hooks looked a little different, like a dark color and with a long probe on the front, that might have been who they were.

 

[EPeter213]

Pretty sure all this is part of that new AFT initiative. Nothing to worry about.

Just spotted half dozen chinooks heading north from Indiana into Michigan... excersizes?

Never seen any military birds in my area ever.

Who knows? Michigan declarer war on Ohio back when it first became a state. The Black Swamp was the only thing that kept them from a real shooting match. Look it up.

 

[HoughMade]

Grayling, or Battle Creek (Custer). I spent a fair amount of time at both.

 

[dlandersson]

Yea
Someone probably has a Betsy Ross flag in their yard.

You can't be too careful about those Betsy Ross flag extremists.

 

[OneBadV8]

Are you in Fort Wayne? It's not a normal day if a pair or two pair of Hogs don't fly over our house.

gonna be sad when they go.

 

[oze]

gonna be sad when they go.

It made me sad when I read that it is a done deal that the Hogs are going to be replaced by F-16s. I doubt that they will be flying over neighborhoods at 1000 feet anymore.

Just after noon today, 6 choppers were flying SSW over wester Elkhart county/eastern St. Joe county. I snapped a few pictures. Only ended up getting 5 in a picture.

I watched a F22 raptor (I think) doing some practice drills around the South Bend airport today. I guess there is an air show in Chicago this weekend.

Gary air and water show. It's been a few years. They practice usually Thursday and Friday and fly right over my shop. Get a decent show without going to the show

 

[Ballstater98]

Guarantee you one thing growing up somewhat near Jefferson Proving Grounds, if their is practice in the air, 0% chance of rain. 0

Dang. I just figured out this is the first year I won't see them practice, or do the show, from work.
The Blast Furnaces are VERY prominent landmarks from the air, and they use them as markers to line up with.

Maybe I'll have to go to the show.


But... I don't see anything for it online.

I see the Chicago air show now. That's the one coming up. Not going there.

You can go to Gary airport as well and watch then take off and land. $20 per person just for that

 

[Basher]

Apparently, the State Police use Blackhawks to go scout out marijuana farms from the air, so I suppose some of this activity could be from that. This one has been running sorties from Frankfort all week.

 

[williamsburg]

Seen 4 coming into Indy airport on Saturday.

You may be seeing the Sheriff department's helicopter. They have some kind of old one they keep up there last I knew.
