In Bartlesville, Oklahoma today we've had 4 black (actucally dark grey) helicopters taking off from our small airport, flying over our little town in formation, landing back at the airport... then doing it all over again. They have no markings on them, so we took a ton of pictures and looked them up.
They are the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Light Helicopter.
Army factfile says they do this...
Conduct armed reconnaissance, security, target acquisition and designation, command and control, light attack and defensive air combat missions in support of combat and contingency operations.

Just wargames, I guess?
Nice to finally see what everyone has been talking about, but I was a tad uneasy having 4 helicopters over our town most of the day armed with hellfire missles and a 50 cal machine gun...
Anyone else seeing them?
If you see these in tandem with Apaches or Comanches then you have something to worry about.
On a side note....why has the Army named every type of attack helicopter after Indian tribes?
Guerilla warfare.
For some reason, they equate that to us... a single warrior concept.
Prolly all the terrorists we killed trying to keep our lands.. :)

You know
Those helicopters can see all ranges, Night vision to Infrared. Any mass of People anywhere can be located easily. Keep that in mind.
