Did anyone else see a formation of UH-60 Blackhawks going up 75 at noon towards Dallas?

Those are Apaches.
elonzucks@reddit
How can you tell/identify them?
Ausgeflippt@reddit
You can tell because of the way they are.
Seriously, though. They don't look like Blackhawks and are Apaches.
Remarkable_Syrup_841@reddit
Uh, those are called “Skippys”

I’ve been flying helicopters for like 47 years.
NJB9891@reddit
Like 47 years or 47 years? Anyone who’s been flying helicopters since before Reagan was president doesn’t say “like.”
Pandrax86@reddit
So, someone who flies helicopters needs to speak up to your standards? Thats a weird take.
TressoftheEmeraldTea@reddit
That’s pretty neat!

Apaches are pointy. Blackhawks are roundy.

Skinny with little wings (side pods for weapons systems)
elonzucks@reddit
Thanks. What can of weapons can it have?
I'm prepping for after-ww3/zombie apocalypse
Dale_Gurnhardt@reddit
Idk where tf they could be going. Not like they have intercontinental range.
All kinds of weapons systems. The 30mm cannon tracks the gunners head and aims where he looks

Look them up. These are not black hawks.
Cool-Flatworm5205@reddit
Apache would have the arms on the sides, i can't tell if it's just the body or arms in the photo though
Ausgeflippt@reddit
Pylons can be added or removed.
They are Apaches.
poopyboner@reddit
They look pretty close based on profile. They’re definitely not blackhawks.

Time to jump on it…jump on it…jump on it
ironmonkey09@reddit
Agree. You can tell by the pointy nose and the fuselage. Too thin to be Black Hawks. And, it's likely the same air reserve group that flies out of the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth.
OptionalChief@reddit
They're Apaches and for a bit you could track them on Flight Radar. Had about 10 fly around the metroplex yesterday on their way to Waco for fuel. The report I saw was that they were getting ready to get sent overseas.
RaccoonAwareness@reddit
If someone were a nosy super nerd, which I am definitely not, they might know that you can go on sites like adsbexchange and filter for "Military," and they would see that there are military helicopters in the air all the time. There are usually some over Texas, but not over Dallas as much, and while there are a lot of Black Hawks, there are also quite a few Apaches, Super Stallions, Chinooks, and Dolphins too, not to mention the Ospreys, or the many cargo and fuel planes and occasional fighter jets. There are frequently US military craft over Japan and Europe, as well.
Again, this is super niche and I wouldn't know anything about it, but someone might.

You're a chad and a legend. I am definitely not on this website having the time of my life 😂
OptionalChief@reddit
It's cool knowing what's flying over the area like E6s and E4s out of Tinker and B52s out of Barksdale. I have a monitor at work that mostly has the trackers up because it's fun to watch. Then I remember that what it shows is only a fraction of what is really flying as they only show what they want us to see. For example most of the F35s out of the JRB don't show.
Such_Resolution6478@reddit
Exactly, ANYTHING with jammers onboard. It's UNBELIEVABLE how much traffic there is in the sky. When you scale it to car traffic, it looks like 100 different layers and routes of interstates just no traffic jams (hopefully ever) lol I've been perusing what the privates have been up to. Somebody took a joyride over the lake earlier today. Alt was like 3 or 4k 😂

When Trump said ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ if Iran doesn’t make a peace deal, he was talking about Garland TX.
NatWu@reddit
That can't be right, Garland doesn't count as civilization.

Blackhawks are transports. Those are attack helicopters.
Developesque1@reddit
Not a Sikorsky - worked on them for years and years. Likely an Apache with the fat cans on the side.

Was it you? The bomb threat?
Joecarter_72@reddit

Don't leave us hanging...was it real

Not sure what an Apache is going to do about that

Apparently there’s a bomb threat or shooting happening downtown
JamesonThibodeaux@reddit
They flew over my place here in Italy as well. Italy, Texas that is. 45 minutes south of Dallas on 35E
Such_Resolution6478@reddit
My guess is potential support involving the potential bomb in downtown today ...

Getting ready for 8pm est tonight. Something big is about to go down.

Apaches are not scrambled for a regular bomb threat. This is likely some pilots getting their hours logged and flying VFR (Visual Flight Rules) for navigation. It is not abnormal to see military aircraft fly along the interstates.
earthworm_fan@reddit
Almost certainly what it is. This is posted every month and it's always regular training or transport

Heard some loud choppers flying over LBJ in the wee hours of the morning today, loud enough to wake me up. Probably 4 - 5 am ish.

All of those conspiracy people were secretly disposed of by fema decades ago, that explains why theyre so quit now right?
lidsville76@reddit
That was all dis-info from the Heritage Foundation. It makes perfect sense. They were about to be exposed, so they instead went full on oppo conspiracy to flood the market with "stupid conspiracies" to dilute the truth. That it was the GOP and not the Dems that wanted to arrest everyone.
