Hi, that sounds good, thanks for adding on the topic of helicopters, it must be a lot of fun to get used to seeing the Jets flying overhead, on one occasion, I think that in 2012, two Jets passed and the whole neighborhood was alarmed thinking that it was the third world war hahaha

I really like the military traffic we have here. In the past this was a Harrier base now it's a FA-35 base and transport. One wing stationed here flys the F-16 fighter and the other flys the FA-35. I can tell the difference by the sound.
There are also V-22 Osprey here. Those are impressive aircraft. Vertical lift and horizontal flight. This is also a test base. The Osprey did all it's testing here as did the F-35. We, the public, doesn't even know what they are testing much of the time... I walk in the south desert often, and I occasionally see aircraft I can't identify taking the corridor from the base to the bombing range.
It is a very interesting area, also somewhat dangerous but I hope that luck always smiles on you and you enjoy the desert and the parades of the metallic eagles. XD
I didn't see a one on our morning walk which is sort of strange considering there is a big maneuver planned next week. An annual thing, it isn't as big as normal due to Covid but it's a system wide test and check session.
