Two of these passed over our house a few min ago. Very slowly and the motor sound was very loud. Obviously they were big.

I live near the Arizona National Guard Papago Park Military Reservation and so I'm sure it came from there. We do get some interesting craft from there overhead at times.

I'm just curious. What is it carrying? It looks like a bomb but I am guessing that it isn't. ?

Thank you YougoTexasGirl. I'll just post one more, I call it 'Horse on the rise'. My Instagram and website is on my profile if anyone wants to see more but right now I'm loving these beautiful helicopter pictures. Those are fabulous. Horse-on-the-rise-cropped

Arizona Army National Guard flies both the UH-60 and AH-64. This appears to be an A model Apache.

cheers,

It’s an AH-64 Apache

The IR diffuser is wrong and the tail rotor is on the wrong side to be a Blackhawk. Those are Hellfire launch rails on the left-side stores pod, not something you often see on Crashhawks. And you can barely make out the “arrowhead” target sight system under its chin.

How many communists can you fit in the cargo hold? Later to be thrown out, of course.

If the noise is too annoying, just use a green laser to communicate with the pilot in Morse code. They’ll leave you alone after that.

/s, don’t actually do that

Take some out and smush them and mix them back in.

I like to take out a cup or so of beans once they get soft enough, mash them and put them back. Thickens without adding other flavors. Don’t use flour.

Its not a Black Hawk. It looks like a Sea Cobra. My best guess.

Funny thing is you are post 64.

I looked it up. Sure is! I love the little rotorblade on the tail :)

From that profile, it looks like an AH60 (Blackhawk).
