Military Choppers Chicago
eyewitness | 07/22/2013 | self

Three military helicopters moving like bats out of hell west out of Chicago 500 ft altitude, only 1 with running lights.

Never seen anything like that before.

Is there a training base close by? We see that around here at times if we travel to a certain area of town or if they fly off course from a flight pattern.

From the posted article: On July 23 and July 24, the military will hold exercises from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., which will involve the use of helicopters, Carr said.

Assuming that is a Cushman, I was using one similar, for school when I was 12.

Sounds right- Why urban warfare training in Chicago?

Similar training exercises were done elsewhere including Miami but the specifics were not released.

I found this article which may answer some questions:
