TV news showing Obama speaking in Pomona...The choppers are probably on way to pick him up...Pomona is Northeast of me. -- nm - BAD Mar 19, 11:02 8
- could be. is there an Army base or National Guard unit out there? -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 11:07 7
  - Only thing I can think of is Pomona Fair Grounds...Lots of open space and would be easy to secure. Mainly all blacktop.. -- nm - BAD Mar 19, 11:15 6
    - right, I'm just wondering where they're from. I know CA has choppers, just don't remember where the units are. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 11:16 5
      - I think they were flying back and forth from the Pac Ocean -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 11:21
      - On news last night, they showed presidential choppers with Obama getting on them... - BAD Mar 19, 11:19 1
        
        ah. then you're probably seeing more Sea Kings than UH-60s. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 11:23
      - He doesn't bring his own? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 19, 11:19 1
        
        I guess he must, now that I think of it. The ones based in CA are made for combat. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 11:24
I think so. We got those the day he arrived here over Santa Monica, and also yesterday over my house. Also: - con_carne Mar 19, 10:57
where are you? what color are they? -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 10:56 6
- The ones I saw were gray -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 10:58 4
  - White over brown is the livery for the Presidential fleet of choppers. -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 11:03 3
    - They have some black hawks but most of them are Sea Kings. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 11:08 2
      - Yes, but all are done in white over brown. -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 11:11 1
        
        yes. From directly below, they look all black. (they go overhead all day here) -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 11:13
- Whittier CA... could not see any color...looking straight up in bright sky... -- nm - BAD Mar 19, 10:58
