They’re near-always military NH-90 copters and for some reason fly quite low. I hear one fying over around once a week. Also love the sound of them.
I’m confused, am I not supposed to get excited about helicopters?
2018 to 2024 we lived near Fort Knox. The home of Godman Army Airfield. We regularly saw Chinooks and Blackhawks and the occasional Apache.
Sometimes we see a whole squadron of them up at the same time.
It was awesome.
I have never been in a group of adult males that didn’t drop everything to search the sky as soon as they hear chopper blades. The “it’s go time” part of the brain activates I think.
If you’re GenX, I believe “get to tha choppa” has been sleeper-agented into your brain, the sound of rotors forces you to watch.
I stopped yesterday while walking to my car at quitting time to watch the med flight copter fly over. When I looked down three other people had also stopped to watch.
I’m an adult male and I stop what I’m doing and pay attention the moment I hear an ice cream truck.
No one ever really grows up, some people are just better at hiding it.
Helicopters are freekin cool.
