Anybody see the big black helicopter with side guns circling? No ID and flying low- lol thought they were going to land on the roof. A couple of big circles and then crisscrosses our house then circled up into Greentree heading towards Woodstream.
Pretty cool to watch and am wondering what they were doing 4951

Live in Sand Creek.  Saw (and heard!!) it in the afternoon as I was cleaning the garage.  Stepped out to take a look, then went back to what I was doing.  As it circled again I came back out to see where it was headed.  To my surprise it flew directly over the house.  (Must have seen me watching them...heeheehee).  After the second go-round it seemed to head towards 59.  Quite a sight. 4951

@Annie: Whew - we passed inspection-our pool needs to be redone BUT it's not green!! Lol maybe the HOA got a new toy!!!
 
I was thinking last night- why do I have this fascination with what's flying in the sky. Guess it dates back to when I was a kid. When I was little there just weren't that many planes in the sky. So much so that when we heard a plane and on even rarer occasions a helicopter we would run outside and look at them. I still do that- but only when the plane sounds weird or is flying low. A few years back I got to see a B-24 flying to the east of us- what a sight.
And yesterday's helicopter was cool. Wish Hubs had been home - he could've told me what kind it was

Just thought I'd post an update.  After describing this helicopter to a friend who had been in the military, he informed me that it was probably a Black Hawk.  After doing some research I tend to agree with him; and, from everything I've read, it seems they've been around the Houston area for a few years.  And I have to admit that in all my 33 years of living in KW, it was quite a sight to see.  4951

@Lizvac:
Yes it was. There's an airport up in Conroe and the Army flies out of there and does maneuvers . One time I saw Chinook flying over the house - it was HUGE. Hubs has a special name for them- ****Hooks- he always got sick in them 😜 4951

@Lizvac:
 
If that was the first sighting you saw in 33 years then you missed my husband flying an AH64 Apache down Kingwood Dr. and around Sycamore Villas in Sand Creek. The kids loved it!
 
He used to be stationed at the unit in Conroe before he was medically retired. That unit is now a Blackhawk unit so that is most likely what you saw. 4951

Depending on the year, I was probably working or running the boys around for sports and missed it.  I pretty much have seen and remember a lot that went on in KW in those early years when I moved here.  Not so much lately though.  I love KW, but it has gotten way to populated for my liking.  I do remember in the mid-80's letting the dog out late evening and looking up into the sky.  I could swear I saw a UFO (or something).   Watched it for about 10-15 minutes.  I called the KW Constables office at the time to inquire about it.   They said it was probably an airplane.  It DEFINITELY wasn't an airplane!!  Not with the color lights I saw on it.  Plus there was absolutely no "airplane" sound/noise, it wasn't moving, and then it just disappeared.  To this day I still look up into the night sky whenever I let the dogs out.  You just never know what you'll see. 4951
