Low Helicopters in Ames

[stvfarmboy]

Anyone else in Ames see or hear the low flying helicopters a few minutes ago? We are just east of campus and there were at least two of them. Our guess was that it was related to the presidents visit on Tuesday but not sure.

More than likely for the President. When he was in Cedar Rapids this spring, the Presidential Helicopters flew over my office a couple of times and that was about a week before he was in town.

They flew right outside my window 10 minutes ago...

They looked like military helicopters, so rworkman83 is probably right.

If they were black, it might be the DNR letting out mountain lions again.

Shhh... that's a secret operation by DNR that no one is supposed to know about.

You know, because the mafia in Ames is dangerous.

MSNBC arriving early with the rest of the media...

Yep I saw them too. My first thought is that it had something to do with the president coming too but I have no idea otherwise.

Whose song is that remembered?
At random, surpenting
Throught fatty coils, emerging
some other thought it's thinking
this light
stands above the
houses
on the ground
this illumination
visited upon the whole land

unmarked helicopters
hovering
the lord is coming soon

here comes the super copter
here comes the noise it makes
the demon was an idea
the demon is awake
scratch mark traced across the
surface of your mind
this hour, now upon us
the hour, now arrived

unmarked helicopters
hovering
the lord is coming soon
unmarked helicopters
hovering
they said it was a weather balloon

but i know the truth
i know the whole shebang
i know the names of men they had to hang
i let her out the trunk
heard what she said at them
they've come to drag us through the double M

it goes black black black black and blacker
it goes black black black black and blacker
it goes black black black black and blacker
it goes black black black black and blacker

unmarked helicopters
hovering
the lord is coming soon
unmarked helicopters
hovering
they said it was a weather balloon
it was a weather balloon
it was a weather balloon
it was a weather balloon
it was a weather balloon
it was a weather balloon

It was two "Marine One's" (SAM XXX today) and two other escort helicopters.

We were driving on University when they came in. They landed on the intramural fields across from the stadium. I would presume it was a practice run for Tuesday.

Anyone see that takedown scene from Goodfellas...ya they are coming after you! :v_SPIN:

Either Clones21 knows exactly what the helicopters are doing related to the president

OR

Clones21 is going to start a thread three days after the visit saying "The President came to Ames?!?!?!"

Better stay out of G7! I don't want helicopters f***ing up my lot!
