Fire Watch, last nite, glowing embers lighting up the slow smoke plume.
bayarearidersforum.com
Two aircraft, after 9: pm, landing lights, strobes, appear to be in the pattern for Cottonwood Airport.
Just off the runway threshold, right elevation for approach, just not quite lined up, crossing the strip @ a shallow angle, All lights out, I was swinging my spotter scope to look, got one pass, zeroing on a light,
over traveled and lost all lights, just too late to ID, stealth mode ?
I could hear them both, but blacked out. Some glint from moonlite on the rotors,
My WAG, both of the Chinooks (mostly silver, with black panels), returning from either dinner and/or Maintenance. Heading back to Sedona Airport, low, slow, blacked out, transponders too?
Question, When and Where is our military allowed to go dark, in civilian air space ?
We get air package planes after dark, couple times a week,
Going dark within the confines of a working airport ?
Who's world does that happen in ?
Sedona, AZ Ride Report
Looks like a fun ride! Any Sedona pix? I went to high school near there in the late 70s.

60 mile gusts, or a tornado, I see potential disaster with those lifting surfaces.
I have seen this on steel poles (B 17) over gas stations, but, not with that angle of attack.

I was thinking the same thing. Hope no rusty welds.
