My simple explanation, knowing something about the military, is that all the crews are short flight time and testing due to covid shutdowns and they need qualification time.
Just a guess...units are behind mandatory training big time in Reserves.
I had 4 of them fly over earlier today in El Paso, and a flight of 6 Apache a couple of days ago. I'm leaning towards it being just catching up on training time before the end of the year, but I guess we'll see.
Very heavy helo activity over Northern VA the last 4 or 5 days. Multiple sorties of 3.
Light Osprey activity // RC-12X Guiderail callsign GLARE-12 racetrack pattern from Hagerstown, MD to Woodbridge, VA est 1300-1600 ET timeframe // B742/VC25A (AF1 w/o POTUS) in maintenance/training/certify loop over JBA est 1100-1300 ET // Boeing C-32 (AF2 w/o VPOTUS) in similar loop Camp Springs, MD est 1100-1300 ET
Sound to me like a lot of helicopter rides are about to be given

Finally....my tax dollars going to good use.
Weather report for tonight: mild, steady commies will be coming down throughout the evening. Followed by bright sunshine tomorrow morning.
Make sure to park in the garage tonight.

"Grandpa what was it like to take a human life when you fought in CW2."
"I don't know, I only killed commies and traitors."
Is that a lot?
A friend of mine in the DOD sent me this tweet out of the blue and then went silent.
Well, it’s one more than 90, you see. Most chopper counts go to 90. This one goes to 91. That’s one more, isn’t it?

Full fleet was out on the apron on KVPC today.
Dobbins had unusual traffic too.
This combined with the 40 Osprey's from earlier this week show some sort of domestic troop movement that is uncommon.
Hence I am posting to see if anyone has more information
What does your friend at DOD do?
Cleans toilets
*the general’s toilets
Vaccine movement
Aren't we using the more correct term "Hawks of Color" these days?
Did they give out free helicopter riders, are they Helicopter Rides of Freedom™?
I prefer the latter, frankly, as its really freedom from being a bad commie to finally being a Good Commie®.
Troop and asset movements are key indicators of pending operations.
Could be training Or Could be prepping for a national operation
Hence why I was curious
Training
Even if we split each special ops team into 3, do we have 30 special ops teams?
Holy shit, that’s almost 92 Blackhawk helicopters.
