I was in downtown L.A. this weekend working on a pilot film called "Flash Forward" while filming, two large military helocopters came racing down southbound along on 110 (Harbor Freeway) between the high rises of Los Angeles at about 600 ft off the deck. This is not a natural occurence in L.A. where restrictions are 1500 ft. The explanation was, #1 they were trying to stay out of LAX Airport fly zone which is 20 miles away. Or #2. They're the military they can do whatever they want. So my question was why? Why fly that low through high rises without a known threat. Was it an exercise for something in the future? Or simply overzealous airjockeys flying through? In this poltical correct time I can't think that it was just a joyride through L.A. Give me your opinion..........SVS
Maybe they were props in the movie being filmed two blocks over?
