We often have CH-47 Chinooks flying north and south, presumably between Ft. Leavenworth and something south of us. But today I saw a Chinook flying east and orbiting over the Kansas Speedway a few miles away.
I thought that was unusual, but then then I saw three helicopters flying west like I'd never seen before. One, I believe was a MH-47E, a Chinook variant for special forces, noteworthy for its large refueling boom.
That helicopter was escorted by two small helicopters which I believe were MH-6 Little birds.
The first Chinook was still east of us, orbiting over the Speedway when suddenly five parachutes trailing smoke appeared underneath. Now it all made sense. There's a major race this weekend and presumably these aircraft are doing flyovers and a jump demonstration this weekend. They were probably practicing.
