Military Drills Causing Panic From Citizens in Cities Across the US Posted by: FWebb Posted date: July 14, 2013 In: News | comment : 0 Comments and 0 Reactions army-aviation-careers Last Thursday, citizens of Port Angeles, WA were shaken out of a dead sleep by military helicopters running unannounced drills over their homes. “No one had any warning about the helicopters, no one said anything afterward, and today city officials had to spend hours just trying to find out what had happened – who had invaded Port Angeles,” What would you do if you heard a swarm of choppers flying over your neighborhood late at night? Well, most sane people would call 911 of course, and call they did. The local PD received dozens of calls reporting the low-flying helicopters “I guess a lot of people got spooked because they had their lights on and the lights were bright, but I guess they had to have the lights on as part of the operation for landing at the airfield,” - Sgt. Jimmy Norris Somehow, I think that the bright lights weren’t the issue, and the swarm of low-flying helicopters was more the issue. Sgt. Norris told the AP that the pilots were “training to fly in urban environments”. Plans of the training exercise were filed with the FAA, but were never forwarded to the public. These types of incidents are not uncommon, but somehow regulations still don’t require informing residents that their neighborhoods are about to be filled with flying war machines.
