Black Hawks over Baker
Black Hawk helicopters buzzed over the Baker neighborhood of Denver last night. The action started around 5pm and went until 10pm. We grabbed our neighbor and sat across from the old Gates building just south of I-25 and Broadway and watched them land on the roof of the building with no lights on. The low flying helicopter noise was a presumably a result of practice maneuvers by the National Guard in conjunction with the Denver Police department in preparation for the up coming Democratic National Convention. The cops ate sandwiches and the helicopter pilots wowed us with their low flying maneuvers and roof landings.
A police officer in a an unmarked suv admitted to being associated with the black helicopters. Two plain clothes men said noise complaints could be addressed with 911.
