a training event for goofing off, you don't actuly think there was a helicopter there do you? Bored cop beating on chest......

I would say training/example with NO helicopter

No agency in BH Co has air units other than ISP. Sometimes the NG assist in some air ops but very rarely. I would think it is safe to say (inside info) that this was just a radio check that was a little more fun than a "check 1-2"

Definitely sounds like someone beating their chest!

I think the NG had a major training session going on state wide last weekend.
There were some press releases noting that the public might see large groups of NG out and about acting "unusual"

I was gonna say... why does eastern Iowa get to have all the fun with the birds?
