While I have no fear of them. Those black helicopters do exist.
About 8 years ago I was in Chattanooga airspace. My right seater (instructor) was a ranking police officer who is a graduate of the FBI Academy.
ATC informed us there was an unidentified aircraft in close proximity to ours, that was refusing to acknowledge their calls . Our heads immediately went into swivel mode.
We were looking everywhere, when is shot directly under our aircraft about 150 feet below us. That's a c*** hair in an airplane.
My partner grabbed the mic and said, "Chattanooga, we have visual on the aircraft. It's a black helicopter with no visible markings." ATC acknowledged our transmission, and never said another word.
Ditto the black helicopters are for real.
About ten or fifteen years ago I noticed one
following me in my rear view, I put the hammer
down, pedal to the metal, I was in open farming
country and when I entered an area that was
well covered with overhanging trees I slowed,
drove off the road and pulled up underneath a
particularly thick leafed tree and cooled my
heels for about twenty minutes.
After that I went on to where I was going to
visit a friend who always has some interesting
stories to tell, that day he told me about a
recent visit he had had from Mr Walton (sp?) of
Walmart fame. He remarked what a down to
Earth guy he was, Walton had arrived in an old
used pick up and wore well worn overalls and
they had spent the day out looking at cattle
herds in the area.
As we were out standing by the fence of a
pasture observing this guys small herd of beef
cattle the black helicopter circled in front of
us, as if to be very obvious, the chopper looked
to be like one of the early Bell bubble models,
there were two people inside, dressed in black,
with black helmets and dark visors and there
were absolutely no markings on the aircraft.
My friend asked of me; "who are those guys?"
and I said I had no idea and I asked if it were
the first time he had seen them and he said;
"no."
On another forum a few years ago when this
topic came up a guy who had built up quite a
bit of credibility over the years said; "the US
doesn't have black helicopters", so I then asked;
"to what country do the black helicopters belong?"
but he never did reply.
Whoa, your posts are just tooooooooooo long for me to read.
If you are attention span challenged then
I suggest you stick to reading comic strips,
see you in the funny papers.
Wait, don't tell me, you are going to say
waaaaaaaaaaaaaay TMI!!
