Military Flyovers

I think I mentioned this in a previous post about nighttime helicopter flyovers up here, and yesterday afternoon I had a couple of herky bird's flyover the shop at about 500', it now looks like these may become more widespread.
Here is a picture from the Wall Street Journal. We are 28 miles southwest of the Pikes Peak (west of Colorado Springs), which looks like it puts us in the north central area of the proposed area.

These flyovers are not that often, nor disruptive, being a hanger rat I find them interesting in that some of the aircraft are not seen that often, especially making low altitude flybys.

So far the most unusual were the Osprey's making touch and goes at the Gunnison Airport a couple of years ago.

It does make you think about the area we live in, when the military says it is a good stand in for Afghanistan.
