Duel Propeller Helicopter just flew by my home fairly low. Help!

[mordarlar]

I have never actually seen one like this. It was black. Does anyone know what type this is? Very unusual to see something like this here.

1. I was going to try to be funny

But I just seen that you live in my city and I KNOW I have never seen one like that around here. East side or west?
I'll keep an eye out for it too.

2. East side. And it was REALLY low. Very loud.

looked like double the size of an average helicopter. We have a nice power plant over here ya know. A few mos back they ran off the alarm on a different day which pretty much flipped us out. I was on here then i hear a copter, think nothing of it then it gets REALLY loud. Sounded like it was right outside the window. Look out it was right over my backyard. STRANGE. Went towards the lake.

7. I'm working over here in Garfield right now

I took a look around but didn't see anything. Usually I can see pretty far from here, being up on the hill and all. You are right, it's not often that we see one of those out this way. I wonder why it is here.

10. I am more east

13. Sound like you're in Lake County

I work in Mentor, and I remember hearing the test siren a couple weeks ago. I haven't seen anything. More than likely, it's a transport. Really nothing to fear.

14. Thank you.

9. Rest easy. THE black helicopters are allegedly noiseless.

If you believe that sort of thing. :tinfoilhat:

3. 2 rotors?

Did it have 2 rotors on top (horizontal), or one on top and one at the tail end (vertical)?

[mordarlar]

5. I was practically looking straight up at the bottom. Two on top.

was sorta long. If lol that makes sense.

6. It sounds like a Chinook

Did it look like this?

[GOPisEvil]

8. If so, it's carrying equipment more than likely.

That's a transport helicopter.

[Padraig18]

11. Yep.

Troop transport and heavy-equipment are it's two main uses. Tons of them in use in both the civilian and military sectors.

15. Or, as it's known in the service, a Shithook...eom

[lpbk2713]

16. Or this?

(Different view of the same helo)

The CH-47 is widely used cargo helicopter. Probably older than a lot of the people on this board.

4. Where is here?

And why do you need help?

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I live by Selfridge here in MI and the military air traffic has really

picked up again. Lots of lowflying C130's and F16's. It makes me ill to now they're "up to something". Besides the fact it scares the hell out of my son.

17. I just read that some Iraqi soldiers are coming home today in Y-Town

Perhaps they're making a grand entrance?
