I have never before noticed a UH60 in my neighborhood, not even when there is an Airshow.
I do not live anywhere near any Military Installations or National Gaurd bases that I know of. Why should I have to feel like Im in a war torn country with armed military flying over my house looking in my backyard when im trying to just enjoy my afternoon? Im sure I am being paranoid in thinking that they could give a crap about me personally but Why are there BLackHawks in Our Neighborhoods people? I just dont like it, UH60's usually just transport Special Forces, why are they readying themselves in my City? I wont let them SEE me point a weapon at them but I do hold my Pool Pole up like an RPG when they fly over and act like im launching a missle at them, no return fire. Hehe |

Take some pictures, and send them in to your local newspaper, and ask them to find out what's going on.

Hey Terek, Where in AZ are you? I have seen the blackhawks also. I also see a lot of Apache's in the air around here. I know they build the Apache's here in the East Valley. They also test them here.

With the price of blade hours on a Blackhawk, I really don't think you have any real worries. We do us a National Guard Blackhawk a couple of times a year to eradicate marijuana.
I see them, and H53 Pavelows, and AC130s, F15, F18, T2, T34, TH57, MH6, C17, C5, B1B, B52, AH1, and others daily. I just mark it off like the bumper stickers say, "jet engines, the sound of freedom" and leave it there. |

Not sure where you got that bit about UH60's only flying SF, pretty much everyone flies around in Blackhawks these days. UH-1's are a thing of the past, very few left and fewer every day. Heck I am a reservist and in 10 years I have more time airborne in a Blackhawk than I do actually firing on a range. FWIW, I have military flights overhead almost daily, I am in a flight path that is often used for low-level NOE practice here in the mountains. Usually C-130's and MH-53's(now those truly usually carry SF), but I have seen Apache's, B-1's and others as well, all right over my house at under 200ft, often well under. |

Hi Milhouse,
Im located in the NE PHX/Scottsdale area. I have a Scottsdale Mailing address and a PHX area code. I havent seen an Apache around here in a long while. I do however see some unmarked Fighter Jets flying around the canyons near the Desert Mountain/Bartlett lake area, They fly very low and very fast and I can only imagine the accuracy in which they can use their tremendously lethal weapons. It makes me realize how defensles I am against a weapon like that. |

Hehe TEREK, Hawks don't only transport SF. They are THE military utility helo. They do everything from move people to equipment. Just because they fly around doesn't mean squat-taco. I promise, the helo drivers couldn't care less about you being outside. And there aren't any "Delta snipers" in them either. You're being reeeeal paranoid thinking anything else. Of course, on the other hand, maybe we ARE coming to get you. [;)] Take care, -SARguy |

Terek,
Im in the south east valley, and I see the apache's flying overhead all the time. Expecially the longbow. Unmarked jets near Bartlet, that would be cool to see. Good luck |

They fight brushfires around here. From about May to October, that is all they have time for. There was a big story about how lower maintenance funding for the National Guard meant they might have to ground all of the UH60s about June or so this year. There was a real big outcry, and they still fly, so I guess they got that taken care of.
P.S. If you add an extra layer of foil, the Delta snipers can't get a target lock with their new milimeter wave radar systems. Just some friendly advice... |
