Well, since there were three Chinooks from God only knows where, let the conspiracies begin.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this, if anything.

Having lived for many years outside Camp Lejune and knowing their flight rules, something was def wrong. 1 Its completely illegal for military to be doing any operations other than training in US.2 Even with training they have to be flying at least i think its 500 feet outside of designated air space, none of which is in Wake county (airport excepting but then they follow normal aircraft rules). Im betting someone started bashing the military and thankfully WRAL shut them down and prevented anything further. 10 bucks they got lost from Ft Bragg, even though they deny they were from there.

I doubt we'll find out what happened.

we'll probably never hear what they were doing

I drove through Rolesville today. Saw no helicopters. Just loads of cops running radar and a probable drunk driver in the car in front of me (it's ok though because he was only going 30 in the 35 zone.) [Edited on September 7, 2009 at 11:00 PM. Reason : l]

We had two H-46s land out in our fields outside of MCAS Cherry Point about 10 years ago. They were flying in from New River or LeJune. One of the WMs on board didn't know how close they were to Cherry point.

Thinking about it, if they were doing something, they wouldn't have shut down. Almost guaranteed to be a precautionary landing on account of mechanical problems.

http://www.wral.com/news/news_briefs/story/5960438/I called it. They were lost. Gimmie my 10 bucks.JCASHFANYour reply to my no 1 still involves training. And its designated (see no2)Your repley to my no 2 also upholds mine. They have to follow civ flight rules, which while Im no pilot, I dont believe you can be flying 200/500/damn low feet up without some reason and probably a permit of sorts as a civilian. And yes, normally when flying in formation as it sounds like they were, you normally wanna stick together.

10 or 15 years ago a helicopter (blackhawk?) had to make an emergency landing in fuquay and they camped out there all week while making repairs.
