I knew someone would post about those choppers.

GEt over it already. The cops are up there doing their jobs, leave em alone. If you really want to know, call your local station and ask them. You're bound to get a better response from them.

the last time? I don't recall hearing about a murder last night.

You missed the choppers last night and a couple of nights before that, and last week. This is a daily occurrence in skies over the county. Really. And there are numerous threads just like this one on this forum.

I would call my local police station but I am to lazy to find the number and call them. I posted a thread on here hoping someone would do the hard work for me. That is what America is all about!

I mistyped earlier. Meant last time I heard them over my location. Thank you helpful neighbor shadow. I can tell you have the mission of this site in mind from your derogatory remarks. Won't be checking back so no need for the reply.

It was a training exercise out of Fort Belvoir. Fairfax County Police say it's happened pretty much every day in September in some area of the county. The department gets calls daily about it. Unfortunately, since it's an exercise, the various branches of the military don't give the County Police a warning about it.

We have a rouge helicopter pilot on the loose inside this airspace. He's also on the loose inside this country.

Yeah, I don't think Fairfax has three helicopters.

CIA has plenty, though - were they black?

I didn't think that the Fairfax Co Police owned 3 choppers, so it would have been kind of hard for them to have deployed that many.

Military exercise. Usually means not county choppers. Fairfax does have two choppers though.

Interesting...I've never seen a "rouge helicopter pilot" before. I'm assuming he or she is an Indian?

I guess military exercise makes sense. It is unsettling though to have three helicopters circling over your house for 30 minutes and then see them hover over a spot that is not too far away from your house. Why can't they do stuff like this in less populated areas?

They are running drills so your house doesn't get flattened one day, how about being less of a whiney baby and more appreciative of people doing things you can't take care of yourself because you can't afford a helicopter and guns?

The Police was transporting stale doughnuts to an undisclosed location, via a helicopter.

I am extremely grateful for the numerous sacrifices that members of the military make in order to protect our country. I am not bitching. I am stating that there were 3 helicopters. When 3 helicopters do circles around an area it usually means that something bad has happened or is happening (chasing a suspect, looking for a missing person, car accident, etc.).

Rotary-winged aircraft for Military, NORAD and ???... Conducting training ops. around Burke and nearby GMU. Do a Bing search for (Top Secret America) and follow the hazy path from Burke/GMU to Manassas. Same helo's visited Manassas after departing FFX/Burke/GMU.

Unless the police come to your door these threads are useless. We live in Nova. Copters fly about. Get over it.

I guess those that post about helicopters are either shut-ins or grew up with no action in their lives.

Now please STFU!

Don't worry, it's just your tyrannical government using their billion dollar sensors they bought with the taxes they stole from us. They're performing illegal searches to ensure they maintain a monopoly on drug trafficking. Welcome to the police state.
