Goddamn.... I've still got 'Beau Coup' goose-bumps!
 I was just now laying down and sort of dozing off when I heard rotors, Really LOUD rotors! Before I knew it I had actually leapt off the couch and run outside to see what the hell was going down. It was two Marine Cobras approaching Hot & Low, Really Low! They flew right over the house and out over the bay, I watched them until they disappeared over the tree line on the other side. Cool  |

In bound birds, always a good sound.

Yep, always a good sound... if you are in the service of the USA!

I have the same reaction when the Guards Blackhawks fly over. Goosebumps, too. Freaks out my wife.

I witnessed a very large joint convoy of helos over Lejeune. Probably 65-75 helos involved. It was orgasmic.

when I hear the sound of Sea Stallions it reminds me of "Phnom Penh" back in 1975.

When the V-22s go over (if you can hear em) just scare me... Kidding I love the V-22. Cobras and Heuys do sound cool. 17 pluss years of being around them and I still get goose bumps.

When I first started working in Quantico Town, it took a bit of getting used to, especially when a large gaggle of different birds came in beating the air into submission.
The Osprey is way wierd though...very quiet and a strange sounding bird. The C-17 has that low, vacuum cleaner sound that high-bypass turbofans make. The H-46s always sound like their about to fly apart. I hate riding in them. The easiest to make out are always the Cobras or Hueys. |
