Flying circles at the port of Houston late this morning.
Reported by Mrs Mikey to xdmikey. |
| Me and the wife saw a grey Blackhawk w/manned doorguns flying east to west over Hwy 183 in Euless on Tuesday morning about 9:30am. Highway 183 connects Ft.Worth and Dalls just south of DFW airport. We were driving the opposite direction and I couldn't get my phone out to take pics fast enough once I realized what I was seeing. I told her that was very unusual to see especially since the doorguns were being manned. The grey color threw me off a bit too. |

Navy's version of the Blackhawk. Might be doing some sort of combined readiness training. |

After posting I looked up some pics and agree it was a Seahawk. Looked a bit fatter at the bottom than a Blackhawk from the angle I was viewing. |

An AH-64 Apache landed and took off again in Downtown Dallas, Tuesday night.
Video is herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kFmoqJzlb0 This was at the basically unused vertiport on top of the Convention Center. Why would an Apache land there? Not like they would be dropping people off or even practicing a tactical drill. An Apache would never land in a real world scenario. Weird, what is going on? |

Seems like no one really knows, but probably just some kind of exercise. |

I could never imagine even needing an Apache to practice landing there or any possible situation where an Apache would have some tactical or strategic need to be used in that situation. If it were a mechanical issue I could understand, but Love Field is right nearby. |

We had one land on top of our station and a crew member made a run straight for the shitter. I've seen the Coast Guard Helo's do touch and go's here too - no bathroom breaks though. |
