HH-60 Pave Hawk Helicopters flying low over Winni.
We had our own little airshow in front of our place a few weeks ago. I thought I'd share.
Enjoy. <iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hRwykNLlsj4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://youtu.be/hRwykNLlsj4 Mark |
Pretty cool - those are H-60s.

Wow! Very cool!

I remember seeing these helicopters flying from Meredith towards Governors.
What a sight. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------- I am a retired workaholic and continuing aquaholic |
They need to take those three helicopters back to the dealer where they bought them, and get the mufflers fixed, because those mufflers aint working right. Does it even have a muffler? How loud ....... like very very very loud ..... easily heard from a mile away while inside the house .... must be extremely loud from inside the helicopter while flying that they cannot hear themselves think?
Surreptitious stealthy flying ...... not like this! |
Why so low?
Wonder why they were flying/hovering so low? Did I see photographic flashes at one point? Anyone have any ideas about this?

That’s is so cool. Great video. I had seen a different type of helicopter flying over Paugus this past Thursday afternoon.

Actually, HH60 Pave Hawk
Those are actually HH-60 Pave Hawk - you can tell by the refueling boom. They are used by USAF special forces, primarily PJ's for personnel recovery in hostile combat zones. There used to be a group based in upstate NY that would do training on the lake 15 years ago or so. From what I heard, the commanding officer's family had a place on the lake, and he got to decide where training locations would take place. So naturally, he chose the lake! They would drop rescue swimmers and rubber rafts, and "assault" islands at night to practice, and then the helos would stay at Laconia during the day. Maybe they pulled the old locations out of the file to try them out again!

I was hoping to see that too. I have a good friend who pilots one of those for search and rescue in the Air Force. He jokes its like sitting on a washer machine for 12 hours. :laugh: |
They are extremely loud. Here, in MA, military copters fly over the house. Can be heard coming from quite a distance and the whole house shudders when they are overhead.

I've actually ridden in the Navy's version of the H-60 on several occasions and it's not that bad with ear muffs on and the side doors closed. ;) |
That's the sound of freedom.

When I saw it I wondered the EXACT same thing ………. only conclusion I came to was they were running the bird through their version of a car wash before returning to base :D :D :D :laugh: :laugh: |
Alton bay
Not choppers seen today but 2 C-130s flying low above Alton Bay today toward Wolfeboro. So neat to see them so low and up close!
|
A C-130 buzzed right over my place on Welch in June.
Had to be flying around 200-300 ft. Really shook the place. I watched it flash past through the trees. Holy crap. To see something that big go by that fast got my attention. So do these guys have any sort of flight plan or do they just get to do whatever they want? Perhaps they were buzzing my neighbor as a special request. |

It has been going on for years. Quite active this summer. Two C130s made a couple of passes from Alton Bay to the NW about a half hour apart yesterday while we were stacking wood. Neat to watch them through the trees. Dave |

With certain restrictions, low level flight over Winni is open to military and civilian alike, with both operating under visual flight rules, and both having same obligation to see and avoid other aircraft. |
