I agree with the 'they are used in the US all the time'.....lived in whitemarsh md, and saw apaches and warthogs all the time on training missions.....guys they aren't deployed 100% of the time, when do you think the noobs train, and yes they have to train at night....Our military has gone towards the night missions more than day missions with the increase in technology....However, that all being said......here is a point to consider, like living in whitemarsh, it was common to see them.....if you aren't used to seeing them, then something is unusual with what they were doing. And that is a fact, flight routes between bases are standardized....In oklahoma we saw the chinooks regularly going from one base to another on the same route.....If you are seeing it for the first time and you have lived there awhile, something was not routine about their flight path.

Mapping again, they want to know every square inch of the US for future events. It is not personal.

Ummm NO.....

When they do mapping, they use satellites... more effective, and plenty of resolution....

Let me say that if all out war came to our country, I would back those same Military and have their backs on my property too. I do not believe they would turn on us or follow orders to kill indiscriminately.

I do know what the constitution reads as far as them coming on for no reason and that was what peeved me off that day.

I also have a report to ATS to make about a black unmarked helicopter hovering over civilian airspace here in N.E. Ohio. What the heck is going on?....or is about to go on?

This happened 2 weeks ago and I almost crashed watching it in disbelief! The government is stepping up operations maybe? IDK, but all I do know is that something is afoot!
