They arent painted black they are Army Helo Drab FS34031...but it might as well be black, especially when they havent started to fade.

1/244th out of Hammond flies Blackhawks, not Chinooks, but they could be practicing together.

That's funny...I'm in DFW, in the burbs up north, and two of them flew over my house this morning as I was leaving for work.

Coincidence?

Also, the 1/244th Air Assault Helicopter Battalion is located in Hammond and they train all the time. That's more than likely who that was.


Since you know so much, tell me what the damned pole/pipe that extends in front of the helicopter is for? I’ve always wondered.

Thanks.

Yeah I could have been a bit less cranky. I took a nice nap. Always pissy after a nap.

I will YouTube the refuel. I assume it extends out a good ways? To stay clear of rotors.

I guess our National Guard folks picked a decent weather weekend for their: "One weekend a month, two weeks a year" training.
