Last year we were having a midday meal at a well known Louisville restaurant on the outskirts of town, near the Ohio River.

There’s a massive area for outside dining which we prefer, weather permitting. While waiting for our order, we suddenly noticed 4 military helicopters flying north over the river.

To our surprise, they swooped down and landed just on the other side of the flood wall and proceeded to march over the hill and down to a pavilion right next to us.

It turned out to be Fort Knox crews on maneuvers who decided to drop in for lunch.

Helicopter pilots are a different breed. 😃

I had my GF , at the time, out to “lunch” on an obscure ‘picnick’ area on our Air Force Base (which was not known to many, at the time)....
and a pair of the ‘unknown’ F-117s flew over our area... ;^)
