It happened again and I cracked and had to post. No joke...stuff on my desk is literally shaking when these things go over. They cant be more than 500' AGL. Probably the 10th time today. Never remember this happening so much before. Training I suppose...

I think they're Sea Stallions. Got the long refueling probe out front.

Appreciate your educated description of the helos rather than saying “black helicopters” or something.

Probably doing something like low altitude orbit around a fixed point. I estimate their speed to be about 150kts. Pretty impressive actually.

A lot of our military airspace has been HOT for quite a while now, it is increasing. I live close to Palmdale and we have been getting a lot of fast movers and others lately. My house just happens to be on their takeoff course when they get to the mountains.

No helicopters up your way. A lot in the southern part. Mainly Blackhawks.

You just had a Ukrainian military AN124 take off from the airport at New Haven across the river.

Arsenal training stuff, yes. There’s a pilot who lives near me who likes to fly over his house as a way of saying ‘hi’ to his wife... so I get it a lot, too :).

Me: “Yes, FAA, I was flying low and slow...but I have evidence in these photos as to why! She also invited me land, so that explains the damages trees...and the downed chopper.”

You owe anybody money? You offend anyone in the renters' association? You got enemies in the aviation sector?

Regards,

She's obviously a hazard to navigation and should be moved a 'less observable' location.
I've got plenty of room in my place.

“Could be not squawking. Mil sometimes does that.”

I keep a Flightradar24 tab open all day and look to see what’s flying over me. Very frequently Blackhawks fly over with no ident. They’re are the only aircraft that I’ve seen do that. Can’t imagine why.
