Moll. 1,770 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Why would an Apache helicopter keep coming back to the same field and hover just above the ground, in the dark no lights on (through the day as well) for 5 days/nights now. It stays for up to 15ins. I cannot think why??? It is right next to my cottage, can watch it from the door most days/nights. I live near an RAF base and not that far from an army range, but have never had one keep coming back to the same spot time and time again? What would they be doing?

mangy1983 51 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 If it comes back again record it onto video. I love em, the best helicopter gunship in the world! It could be testing its radar, or the R.A.F. station could be testing theirs or they could be calibrating its equipment. cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdavepat 8 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Could be calibrating instruments or having someone check out what 'footprint' it is giving out. Same place at same time would allow changes to be checked against like for like conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,770 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Dont have a video recorder, sorry. Got this photo today if it helps My fav is the Puma, they come over very low and slow, if i wave and give them the thumbs up they sometimes come back and forth. To see a Puma swing belly up above your head is like being in the movie's...absolutely superb Have the fighter jets almost daily, the windows rattle they are so low sometimes, and the older spitfire types.
