Noise complaint against USAF from Homophobic caller

[CWJones411]

How do "KC-135"s hover? Is this some kind of helicopter tanker the AF is developing?

You know you helo guys do screw with people though! Working with GPS stuff out in the Bunejug Mountains a black helicopter from NAS Fallon would follow me around on my ATV for around five to ten minutes at a time on occasion. Very obvious, kinda funny, and a little bit intimidating.

..ala Goodfellas...

There is a nice little jar containing a logbook at the highest peak of the Bunejug's left under an obvious pile of rocks by the Sierra Club for people who climbed it. If you want to take a trip out there from NJ to check on my story I could give you my name and date I wrote on it.

Well, I think you should be more than intimidated as Fallon doesn't fly "black" helicopters (even the NSAWC helos aren't black) so somebody nefarious was probably stalking you.

Probably looked like this.

You think I wouldn't bring proof when I say I was stalked by a Black Helo?

Granted they're not Navy, but I didn't know till I did a search. They kept a 300 ft. or so buffer around me, but I was doing like 40 mph+ through canyons and stuff.

ahhhh hemmmm... Not a black helicopter but is a "gunship grey" AFSOC MH-60 and most likely out of Nellis if you were in the Fallon area.

Looks to me to be some PJ's practicing a pilot rescue/extraction.


And if they were "following" you it's probably because you were getting in the way of their training.

Pffft.. I was there, I was 'followed' and I was not in the way of their training man! Fallon, NV = Backestwater of the U.S. = no one around = PLENTY of space = The guys we're just having fun following a lone ATV hauling-a through canyons and mountain trails.

Yeah, he was THERE, man.

Well, I still thought it was pretty badass. Anyhow these guys are ultimate heroes. Anyone whose profession it is to risk their life to retrieve downed pilots garners as much respect as I can give.

Usually the beginning of a great story. :icon_tong

Agreed, they are not black (see below), but to your untrained eye, it may have seemed that way especially if light did not favor highlighting the paintscheme.

Regardless, unless you were a bodacious female in a bikini, they had better things to do and if they watched you for a bit, they were likely making sure you weren't part of an OPFOR or potentially interfering with their training.

And pray tell, what kind of GPS "stuff" were you doing in Fallon? You know, Geo-cachers are in the same realm as Ren-Faire goers and Star Trek convention attendees.
