[quote=“Violator,post:21,topic:27626"”] AH-1W Super Cobras [/quote] That’s what I was thinking too. There is a base out past Rochester with Cobras, and sometimes they fly to NFAB and do refueling excersises. ---

:tup: AH-1s are one of my all time faves. Talk about a return on investment: The airframe has been in service now for over 45 years IIRC. My pop’s buddy flew them in 'Nam. And the Spectre is nasty. Google video has some footage. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/why-did-some-attack-choppers-just-fly-over-my-house/27626.md?page=1)
