Blackhawks over North Shore?
Hi all,
I just heard a very loud noise over my place in Roseville and got a glimpse of what I think was a Blackhawk flying very low (maybe around 500ft or so). Anyone able to confirm if there were any military chopper flights around or if not what it might have been? Cheers. Edit: Webtrak shows an unknown aircraft (not a helicopter symbol) flying over at 183m (600ft) at the same time with notation Beacon: 6000

I am watching 4 blackhawks flying over 2RN as i type.
They have been flying around all day. I've noticed alot of military activity today in the Sydney area. C-130's, C-17's, CL-604's. Anything special happening? Practice for a US visitor perhaps?

"Helicopters will be flying around with or without lights between 2pm and 11pm (AEDT)."
"Up to four helicopters will fly at low altitude over Sydney CBD on March 9, 10, and 17." http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news...0303-phmm.html They are in the air now.

The four of them flew in convoy up and down the Parramatta River about four times between 5.30 pm and 10 pm yesterday.
May be connected with the visit of the Indonesian President (who I believe will be on a Harbour Cruise in Sydney tomorrow) or may be just a training scheduling co-incidence.

Was standing outside in Mosman at about 8:30pm last night and heard a bloody loud noise and immediatly thought about the Blackhawkes, was looking hard for it, knowing that it was not very high and after looking for a few seconds saw one sole flashing red tail light, hard to tell but I'd be surprised if it was any higher then 1,000 foot. Could not see anything totally lost in the dark night sky, not even a slight outline of aircraft.
Was actually quite an amazing experience. Cheers M
