Blackhawk Helicopers
Today 27 September 2014 at 13:10 - 4 U.S.A. blackhawk helicopters over flew my property which is just east of Innisfail. The aircraft were flying in a N.N.W. direction at about 3000 feet. This could mean 2 things, 1) aircraft repositioning to Alaska or 2) we are being invaded, U.S. protecting their resource interest.

Good thing you didn't blind the pilots with the sun glaring off your tinfoil hat! They might have crashed into your popsicle stick spaceship that you built in your parents basement in between games of dungeons and dragons.

Recently joined member, with a handle "dark chopper", first post is about, wait for it, dark choppers!! You know, it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you. I'm going to phone Mulder and see what he has to say on the subject...stand by for further.

That was the Russianfishkiller and his American buddies returning from one of his fishing excursions. I bet there isn't a Brown left in Stauffer.

Obviously there's no possible way it could be a military training exercise with our closest and largest military ally. Surely there is something more sinister afoot, I bet it involves some secret societies and gargantuan conspiracies involving thousands of individuals who all manage to keep absolute silence surrounding the operation.
Usually when I see 4 Blackhawks in formation its a diversion to conceal a nearby parallel squadron of stealth helicopters, they're so predictable that way its cliché.....

Hey wouldja look at that, I was noticing I was getting near. Sadly I checked my post history and the benchmark post was one I wish was more constructive, helpful and community-oriented instead of argumentative. Sigh, I'll have to try to be better than that...

This one time in hunting camp. (Good way to start a story) I saw a 747 type jet fly over escorted by at least three perhaps four fighter jets. Then a short while later on the same trajectory I saw two more big jets each escorted by two fighters.
After returning home I saw on the news that George Bush had paid a surprise visit to the troops in Iraq. Coincidence ? I didn't think so
Pretty sure we share airspace when needed.

It's cool. I shot em down west of caroline.
On a related note, what do you feed American pilots? They scoffed at poutine.

They are around for sure. Had a flight of 5 of them on the 20th overfly GP. I was surprised, but heard they were doing exercises out of Alaska. I am surprised they were that far south though, and sounds like they lost a chopper...?

Russia is doing drills in their far east with over 100k troops, 1.5k tanks and a couple hundred aircraft.

You obviously haven't been checking your trail cams lately.... It's a simple conversion, Chrysler/Daimler has a kit out since August.

Where have you been? Fiat has owned Chrysler since 2009, Daimler's been out of that office ever since.

Blackhawk overflight
Damn!
I hope they did not see my neighbour and I moving the Avro out of the barn. Thanks for the warning, we will have to get some extra hay bales stacked around to conceal it better
