So I'm playing some Xbox with my friends and my Mom comes running up the stairs trying to get out onto the patio next to me. She drags me out with her and we both something you don't see in our town. We live in a small town in a cluster of small towns along Lake Travis, just west of Austin. We saw a black camouflaged Chinook. That bastard was doing laps along the lake and flying no greater than 50 feet off the ground. My mom says "some heavy shit must be going on." I'm really starting to believe so too.

Looks like it's rare but not unheard of. https://youtu.be/dVoOm7d1-io about 10 feet above, 9 years ago, And https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/izpwso/helicopters_over_house_live_by_lake_travis_been/ 315 days ago
Oh that's nutty but my helicopter was a black camo Chinook.
Yeah, could be similar stuff, just upgraded helo.
Are they possibly filling for fires or helping boaters/swimmers lost or in distress? That's common here, especially in fire and swimming season.
