    Wokka wokka wokka!

    Here it is 10.10pm and I hear a noise of an RNZAF Iroquois. However, sounds like more than one and is getting louder. So, run downstairs and pop outside.

    I strain my eyes and can just makeout in the darkness, one,...two,...three Hueys totally unlit and fourth a little way back with a small red positional light going on. NVG exercise flying perhaps ?
    Look like they were heading towards Ohakea.

    Really awesome to see them flying like that, don't see that at all around here.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    In the Vietnam War, the NVA and VC could hear the Hueys coming from miles away but because they flew so low and the noise bounced all around the place they couldn't tell which direction from. So, yes, in a word, Stealthy......ish.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    They wouldn't be so loud if they didn't have those big single cylinder motors in them....

    That explains why those ducks I ran over tasted like hash.

    Thought they were comin for me for a moment as they flew over the house... we could just make them out over the treeline with the being backlit by the lights from Paremata... We saw 4, the front and rear ones with a single flashing red light... fookin noisy things, could hear them for a good minute before they finally throbbed over the house... oddly hypnotic
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    They're actually not that noisy inside when your flying in them.

    Naah... He's right. It's the big single piston breaking the sound barrier, that makes that noise....
    When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
