I’m about an hour west of DC. We do have a military base close by, so we do see military helicopter traffic..... but not like this.
They have been circling all morning.
I keep thinking about the announcement yesterday that “training exercises” were going to be going on in DC today.
Maybe it’s nothing... but thought I’d share, just in case.
(Oh, and here they come again!)
Update: STILL circling. This has been going on for a few hours now........
Second update (1:00pm est): STILL happening but they’ve moved over a bit and are no longer flying directly over my house.....
Third update (4:00pm est): It’s going on about 2 hours since I’ve seen/heard anything. Might be over, whatever the hell was going on..... Would love an explanation!
Well do these look like normal “training exercises” based on past experience?
I would have no idea whether or not this is actually training.... but it’s certainly not normal. I’ve never seen this before.
There was quite an increase in their activity in the weeks before and after the election... but it’s been oddly quiet for a while.
Today has been an entirely different story and far surpasses any activity I’ve ever witnessed. (They’re flying by again as I type this.)
Based on my option that doesn't sound normal then. Either something is up or there just going overboard in training :)
