3 Blackhawks...in Central Wisconsin???????/
:wtf:

Sitting at the computer and heard a rumble....then looked out the window above the pc and saw three blackhawk helicopters in formation heading north........

We don't see a lot of blackhawks around here. Training exercise? From where?

Ft. McCoy is a Nation Guard Base, but they do have all 4 branches of the military on that base.

3. Thought Ft McCoy
was armoured divisions.

Didn't know they had blackhawks down there.

I've seen the F-16s from Volk Field over the "Hardwood Range" before but never any choppers.

4. well
as a kid I spent alot of time there, (military explorer program) and they have just about everything there.

I have not seen any Military aircraft since they closed the air force base in the UP of Michigan. Did you see and insignia's on it. Maybe it would be easier to figure out if we knew what Branch they were?

5. Too high
to catch insignias....

They were black. No obvious markings.

Unusual to see them heading North. As far as I know there's no training area north of Marshfield. They were actually heading a little west of north.

6. Did it look like this


Do remember the neo-Conservatives and militia men men the mid-90's that were convinced that the UN was going to take over the United States and that they were using All Black, Black Hawks to scout and spy until the take over.

Go post that on the Freepers site. They will FREAK OUT, LOL
