Showing Original Post only (View all)Holy shit! Army running helicopter exercises in Los Angeles. [View all]

They actually landed on Wilshire. To put that is perspective that would be like landing on 5th Ave, or Park Ave, or Main Street in your town. Appears that there was no warning, scared the shit out of local residence.
Now why would the Army do this? I can think of two options, and neither is good.
More links - Why would the Army need to 'practice' landings in downtown LA? Camp Pendelton is 50 miles south, plenty of practice areas.
