    Blackhawks Over Queens

    Saw about 7 or 8 Blackhawks in formation flying east over my house about an hour ago. WTF?
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Probably just the NY Air National Guard doing their weekend exercises.
    I caught them about 4pm while hitting golf balls in Deer Park, they were heaed towards Islip which is where the ANG helos are based. They were still in formation too.

    i saw six, in formation as they passed over my garage. my father couldn't understand why i was so happy to see them...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Yes there was 6 and I did get pictures...nothing worth posting. Flew over 110 just south of the LIE towards McArthur

    I saw the six in the city flying due East. It was a nice treat.

    I was out spotting at N40 and saw them pass by. I got a quick pic.



    Nothing much I know, like Fred said. Just wanted to add a little visual stimulation. :)

    Whoa now, the Army's 60's are at Islip. The ANG helo's are based at Westhampton Beach. I don't think that was us.
