I live in prince William county that’s not to far from mannasses regional (Maybe 15 minutes) (where I’m doing my flight training) And these heuys flew over my house in a two ship, maybe 15-20 minutes before the incident.
My first thought was marijuana or maybe meth, I'm sure it was the FBI's first thought they'll search area and local homes to find this A-hole. I was happy to hear the pilot was released from hospital.
Guessing this was just of one of Slow Joe's followers taking his advice to simply fire off two warning shots. Of course, he has no recollection of making that comment, or any other past ten minutes ago...
We were shot at in northern GA in a uh-1h many years ago. when I was flying through Nebraska and contacted Lincoln approach for landing, we were told to climb and maintain 7000 mSL until 4 miles out. The reason being someone was rustling cattle with helicopters and the ranchers weren't very happy about it.
Certainly not good when our on Military Aircraft are being shot at and so close to D.C.
US military is still flying Hueys, then. I was thinking those roles had long since transitioned to the Blackhawk.
