Just a bit off topic...

Are they all black and unmarked???????

I was thinking the same thing.. These were brownish and marked with camo paint. 3 Chinooks and 2 single rotors. These were taken with my cell phone, which is why they aren't in the best of focus.

I could tell just by the volume level that there were more than 2, which is the norm around here....

Thanks for the comments... It brought back memories for me too. The Boeing plant always was flying the Chinooks when they were building them 40 years ago....
