PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Was it a trick or treat? That is what neighbors are wondering after seeing a military helicopter dip just above a Phoenix neighborhood to drop off Halloween candy. Somebody said that helicopter dropped some packages and go, oh my god, now what is this, some cartel? What is this, said one neighbor. After FOX 10 went searching for an answer the Arizona National Guard confirmed its one of their Black Hawks. They also confirmed what neighbors said yesterday that it flew over 36th St & Camelback Road to deliver candy to a private party. The Arizona National Guard said that the flight broke their rules. In a statement they said; The incident was not sanctioned by the Arizona National Guard and will be investigated further to ensure it does not occur again…The Arizona National Guard does not authorize nor condone the use of military aircraft or equipment for personal use. When I came out it was nose down, and it was definitely military, said a neighbor. The National Guard said the aircraft took off from the Papago Park Military Reservation to go to a training mission in Deer Valley training, but along the way the helicopter made the stop. For some it was a surprise full of treats. For others, more like a dangerous Halloween fright. I didnt know if it was going to be a crash, or an attack, no clue, said the neighbor. The National Guard is not releasing the names of the air crew members involved. Each crew member has been suspended from flying as the National Guard investigates.
