    Anybody know any reason why two fully-loaded (Hellfires visible) Marine Corps AH-1W (Possbily the new AH-1Z Viper models) would be flyin' around escortin' a UH-1N (also possibly the new Y-type Venom model) Huey around with no major USMC base to operate out of?

    I'm aware that they can operate out of AF and Army bases but why would they be flyin' around? I thought I read there was an air show in Shreveport around this time awhile back, but I can' remember enough to say for certain.

    Anyone know anything?

    Training. AH-1W and UH-1N operate out of NAS New Orleans. Lots of ranges and training areas up that direction. Training.

    Those wascolly wabbi wannabes have been working behind the scene for decades with the international cereal cartel to replace the rice chex in our trail mix with matzah. Laugh if you like,,,,until you too wake up one day with a hook nose. You people of small cranial capacity. Research. Its all right there for you to see. I have a large library you can use if you're not too lazy or ignant to find the TRUTH. It took a near death experience coupled with a close encounter to wake me up. Study. Its true, its true, its truuuuuee.

    Unless, maybe its the cylons. Imperious Leader is one Machiavellian dude, bro.

    Thorazine is your friend.

    We use to have quite a few Marine choppers flying training missions around here. The military use to use the airport here as a refueling site.
    I haven't seen near as many since Obama took over. I'm guessing that our airport's status with the military may have changed.
