    There was a gray helicopter buzzing the French Quarter, Thursday afternoon. Doors open and two guys hanging out of one side. Was circling around/over Jackson Square area.... very low flying like they were making a landing nearby.

    I’m gonna go with Blackhawks until someone better versed corrects me.

    The gov't has been selling off Sikorsky HH-60L Black Hawk Medium Lift Utility Helicopters for years. There is one being auctioned off currently at an opening bid of $500,000. You need to make sure your HOA will let you park it at your house, though.

    The issue is the cost to fly the damn thing.

    Evergreen Air was still running UH-1H's in afghanistan when i was there in '11. probably still are. loud and hot, but they operated well above their "rated" ceiling and just wouldn't break.

    they're a bunch of alaska bush pilots. really freaked out all the locals around bagram when they showed up with their newest rotary wing cargo toy - a MI-8 hind. that took a lot of smoothing over with the mullahs. no the russians aren't back. well, not really, anyway. sure there's some ukranian and georgian folks around, but these ones are just air taxis for us.
