Today I saw a flight of 4 Blackhawks passing west to east just south of downtown.
About a year or so ago I saw a AH-1 Cobra and a two CH-46s.
Anyone know what reason these Helicopters would have over LA? I don't believe any of these are stationed anywhere near here.
Ceremonial stuff? I understand fixed wing aviation with the range to do so.
It's an urban exercise. So don't sweat it... they aren't coming after you.

I think there's an California NG helicopter squadron at Los Alamitos.Originally Posted by I can't think of a name
The Marine helos are probably from Camp Pendleton, Barstow or 29 Palms.
Your first statement is correct, and they do have UH-60's.
Camp Pendleton and Miramar have permanent based helo squadrons, while Barstow and 29 Stumps do not.
Do not forget the following agencies also fly varients of the UH60 and could be in/around LA.
USAF HH60s at Edwards and Nellis AFBs
Army UH60s at Fort Irwin
USCG HH60s
USN SH60s in San diego and Point Mugu
Customs UH60s (Black)
LA City or County has FireHawks
I believe CDF has Firehawks and I know they have AH-1 Cobras.
But more than likely as mentioned they are from Los Alamitos.
yah CH-46's follow the 5 freeway a lot and I see Blackhawks over Disneyland almost every time I go there
