Chopper in the mountians

Postby BAW0343 » Sat May 31, 2008 4:31 pm

Decided to take a trip up the mountain today and get some photos but never expected this!  Was driving up the road when I heard this loud noise coming from my left. At first I thought It was my car breaking down but then realized it was this:

Didn't get a good shot because although it was slow, I wasn't ready and had to pull over and get the camera out.  Once I got to where I wanted to go I heard the helicopter again behind me. This time I was ready.

Watched it for a moment descend back into town. Then I went on with my day  ;D  Excellent way to spend a few hours.  8-)

I've seen this, or one of these, helicopter before when the President was at his ranch.  I almost wonder if it belongs to secret service.

It's a border patrol Blackhawk.  There was one at Oshkosh last year. They weren't looking for you, were they? :D

Nice pictures. 8-)
