Choppers over Medellin

anybody else see the military choppers in mde? atleast once a week and sometimes twice the birds come back home to roost at olaya herrera. they normally fly in from the north, loop around envigado and itagui and then land. i just saw three and one was equipped with missile launchers on each side. the other two looked similar to hueys.

there were about 10-15 buzzing around during the oas assembly.

*nice bike! but, i would not call that a chopper. choppers have more rake, cierto?

ay of course obviously i never been into any military forces, im a simple weak little girl... but i just love army things ...think is cool as for the chopters/choppers word i guess is used ( just type chopter on google and youll see how many idiots like me still are using the word) , but thanks today i learn something new , i guess this chopter thing is only as a mispelled version of the choppers one or something...thought was the right one since choppers is also bikes ..wherever!!!
