Almost immediately, it became about left and right, then it ended up in Hot Air.

Then someone deemed it a conspiracy theory, because it wasn't on CNN :roll:

Re: Blackhawks in town

It is in Hot Air. Come on over and lets beat this around. It has all the key ingredients for a lively debate.
Black helicopters, machine guns, conspiracy theories, right VS left and why isn't the national news on it??

If you don't know how to get to hot air click here. Be warned only real men with thick skin allowed. hahaha :D

Re: Blackhawks in town

A week or so ago, about an hour after sundown , a buddy of mine calls me from Squaw Valley ( one valley over from where I live)-and says holy shit there are some Helis going nuts right now super low crazy like. I go out on the porch and he's not kidding.Super loud sounded like at least two or three hovering coming an going ect . Couple minutes and it was done.Big choppers, not the cops in the a-star ,not "that guy" in the R-44 trying to do whatever he does, and it did not sound like the blue care flight.Hmmmmm

April 2009 me and 30 Portland firemen are riding dirt bikes 30 miles SE of Boise, Id. Blacks Creek

After a long day of riding it is now dark and 10 PM. We are around the camp fire, pitch black and we hear the wump wump wump of large choppers.

We are in the bottom of a canyon, hill tops 1500 feet higher. Real soon hear they come, nav lights only, right over us, no doubt a training exercise with night vision. We all agreed, glad they are on our side. Cool stuff!!

Cheers

At Boulder City,NV. airport they have cleared out one of the larger hangers to "house" 2 Blackhawks ,for 10k a month ! Less than 20 miles away is Nellis Air force Base with lots of security and space. But oh no they have to set up "security compound" for the TSA aircraft complete with SWAT team hq's. Why not Nellis AFB?

Bill, that's gonna make you happy when you file your taxes in April. 10K a month. Somebody is laughing on the way to the bank.

Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.
