CH-53 Past House

Getting ready to go out to dinner about 6:35 tonite when I heard a hum of an approaching copter. It had the sound of something big so I grabbed my binocs and went into my backyard. I kept hearing the hum grow louder and kinda couldnt figure out which way it was coming. Then all of a sudden it gets louder and to my north I see
a Sikorsky CH-53 flying below 1000 feet at a nice speed heading southwest bound. With the low light and the low level and speed I couldnt get a good viewing but it
did look pretty cool. Didnt hear anything on my scanner either.
Okay time for dinner.
:lol:
