maybe they're heading south for the winter? were they in a V formation?

when i lived in south dakota, you would see nuclear missles being transported to north dakota a few times a year. it was as you described tom, only with about 8 manned trucks on either end of a huge unmarked white semi.

As I heard it, a very large number of helicopters were flying down to Michigan to attempt an airlift of Ted Nugent's ego. I'm not sure they ever made it back.

Damn, your not going to believe this but my toilet just flushed all by itself.

Damn, you beat me to it.

Hey, it's just the voice of experience.

That movie is seriously one of my guilty pleasures, along with Flash Gordon, Cobra, Maximum Overdrive.

Ah, childhood...

Are you sure it isn't us?

An alien ship was just spotted in your area. I heard we sent the "welcome crew".

I'm guessing that you meant "nap of the earth."
One thing some don't understand is that it takes a lot to move even a small military unit, a lot. More than likely this was just a training exercise. You have to train as if you are at war, otherwise the training is worthless. Some times it can look menacing. A lot of times that is the point. If you look like a bad ass, act like a bad ass, you must be a bad ass.

Ive always had a thing for WWII aircraft models and helos themselves. Ive always wanted to ride in a Huey. The LA County Sheriffs use that noisey Korean War Helo.

My fave attack copter is the super cobra.

Yep I share two of those pleasures, Wolverine & Maximum Overdrive. And add Urban Cowboy (im really not into country music ask my wife).

Spooky was 9-11
Worked 5 miles from Andrews AFB and 1 mile from D.C.
Only thing in the air was Military equipment, very strange.
Took us 2 days to figure out there were no vapor trails in the sky from the airliners..

I think I'm one of four people on earth that has never watched Urban Cowboy.

Oh, and I forgot to add Iron Eagle to my list. Many of these (somewhat cheesy) movies are available streaming on Netflix's Watch Instantly service.

last Harrah before they are sold to China for "scrap"?

Yeah, that pretty much sucked. At the time, we lived in northern VA, right under what became one of the turn points for the fighter patrols. They were the only thing flying for a few weeks.

The other thing I remember about that was the weather. In the DC area, 9/11 was the clearest, calmest fall day imagineable. There were several days after that of just beautiful weather, which somehow made the whole thing even more painful.

I got to go on a ride on a bell 47 when I was 10 and it was awesome! Nothing like it.

I took the "Dam Trip" at Paul Bunyan Land in Brainerd, MN back in 1986.

It was a helicopter flight, pretty cool.

CHAD you've pissed them of with "your scooter sucks" sticker now ya better watch out Probably on maneuvers. I saw this really cool helicopter on maui once. Only trouble was i couldn't get close since the road i was on was public and the heli was on a military property. So i just whipped out my super telephoto lens Damn thing emitted some kind of frequency that wouldn't let my camera focus It was cool looking though. I met Idi Amin.Talk about being in the presence of pure evil.

I think you are mistaken, my ex-wife's father was not name Idi.....

Too bad we couldn't get Slobo and these guys together in a cage and watch them fight it out.

To/From Camp Ripley... just took another flight path...no conspiracy!

ISCOOT hah that's what they all say. But what would Mulder say (x-files) RED i'd pay to see that match The sad part is the reason i met him was that he brought one of his kids into the ER to get checked out Can you imagine having him for a father Trust me he's got a million kids. Forget how many wives he has bit it's alot.

I think it moved.

some one must have heard Obama was campaigning out there and misinterpreted it as "Osama"

*cracks beer*
