Now that's cool. Good on you for making it AND for sharing it.
We have lots of helicopters here. Some that look sorta like that one that ICE and Border Patrol fly around here with great frequency. We also have quite a little Marine traffic from the base here (I actually live in the shadow of the bombing range-jets can break the sound barrier here and nobody can complain) all the way up to Sea Stallions. A big Helo that can carry a lot of Marines.
There are also several that are dedicated to ag spraying. They mostly fly at night, though.
Hi, that sounds good, thanks for adding on the topic of helicopters, it must be a lot of fun to get used to seeing the Jets flying overhead, on one occasion, I think that in 2012, two Jets passed and the whole neighborhood was alarmed thinking that it was the third world war hahaha
I really like the military traffic we have here. In the past this was a Harrier base now it's a FA-35 base and transport. One wing stationed here flys the F-16 fighter and the other flys the FA-35. I can tell the difference by the sound.
There are also V-22 Osprey here. Those are impressive aircraft. Vertical lift and horizontal flight. This is also a test base. The Osprey did all it's testing here as did the F-35. We, the public, doesn't even know what they are testing much of the time... I walk in the south desert often, and I occasionally see aircraft I can't identify taking the corridor from the base to the bombing range.
It is a very interesting area, also somewhat dangerous but I hope that luck always smiles on you and you enjoy the desert and the parades of the metallic eagles. XD
I didn't see a one on our morning walk which is sort of strange considering there is a big maneuver planned next week. An annual thing, it isn't as big as normal due to Covid but it's a system wide test and check session.
