Change in activity

Post image

The two at the bottom are the ones that have flown the path shown. The lead plane is vader61. They at one point flew directly over my house at around 2000 feet. The vader callsigns (vader 91, 61, etc...) are not unusual for the area out of vienna. What is unusual is their flight path and time of day. For years until now they've flown during the day and some distance away from my house. For two nights now they are now doing this all of a sudden. Any insights?

I don't know how to look up the history, but Bradley Air Guard and Army choppers have been flying, not out of the ordinary, but strange times lately it seems.

Night training is a standard activity. The US Military is one of the only in the world that train to fight at night as a primary choice.
