Army had some exercise last Wednesday. The traffic was great. I've missed couple of UH-60s and two MV-22s.

Apparently FBI has two mil registered UH-60s. Both were photographed above DC in the recent months.
I've got only one. Fire28 got another one :)

US Customs & Border Protection has a lot of helicopters in the area. I keep seeing the same ones over and over again.
Few of them are based at HEF airport in VA
