Originally posted by: Night201 I saw an Apache helicopter 2 days ago flying over my house in NJ. I'm about 20 minutes outside of NYC. Probably due to the hightened security level: The more interesting point: My roommate said he saw 3 flying together about 1-2 weeks ago. Assume away, but that shows how far in advance the government was probably aware of all these reports/threats. They sound really cool. They definitely sound different than normal helicopters. It's hard to explain, but the sound is more metallic sounding.

Cool, where in Jersey? I live in Paramus

Hillsdale area...right by you.

I'm in Lakewood NJ, I don't hear or see anything...

The Apache can carry Stingers IIRC.

You recalled wrong.
They carry sidewinders. Stingers are shoulder-fired, portable, short-rage SAMs, and have never been deployed on any combat aircraft.
