helicopter on garfield

[una_dogger]

From South Twin he flew over the Bonds, then over to Carrigan, then up towards Wildcats/Carters.

I'm really hoping their pictures will be posted somewhere!

Could be the fastest round of the 48 to date.

the only thing that i can think of that would be cooler than experiencing the fly over would be to actually BE IN the chopper making the rounds!

That would be so much fun being in the blackhawk. Washington to layfayette in ten mins

Tim, Me thinks Joe one-upped you on the Blackhawk. He didn't just get the tail number~I believe he got the serial number and capacity plate!

Excellent shots all of you!

Do not judge a man by the size of his lens.

The helicopter is indeed a Blackhawk. It is from the New Hampshire Army National Guards 1159th Avaiation (medical Company air ambulance) unit based out of Concord.

The BH did a double run over Cannon when it realized the huge Flag that was draped up there.

I am just guessing. But it looked like a "pro" photographer. That is to say, he was close enough, had the "vest" on. Again just guessing.

Cool either way.

Peace.

Jay you sure it wasn't just the paparrazi?

Quick correction:

The 1159th was apparently redesignated the 238th, though not sure when. Guess I need to keep up with the times. Also it appears chopper #617 belongs to C company, 3rd regiment.

My Turn

Guess I should post mine, too. It's similar.

 

[JustJoe]

Even better. Love the blue sky back-drop.

I asked this somewhere else but never really got an answer. Are they the ones they call for SAR?

If the Army National Guard is involved with the SAR, perhaps. I don't know of any civilian SAR agencies that have blackhawks, I'm sure it's a controlled (ITAR related) item . Maybe Sikorski makes a civilian version, I don't know, I'm not a pilot...
