    One of these things is not like the other ones...

    We were having a fun weekend at the lake when this fellow whipped around the bend. I don't know how I managed to grab the camera and click off a few shots. It's a bit menacing when they point the noise down toward your boat...

    Pretty sure, but it didn't have any markings. It had a set of guns and some sort of launch tube. There were two of them, and they roved about for several hours. Looking for pot is a very high possibility, they were definitely looking for something.

    That is for sure a combat helicopter, no doubt about it.

    If I've got nowhere to go?

    Cool!

    We got buzzed by one of those while mtbing in the evening. They apparently had a HUGE pot bust (they filled a semi!) earlier that day and apparently someone reported seeing fast moving headlights in the forest. Right before the sun went down a chopper kinda like that flew over head, and it came back during the night really low.
