Cool stuff your taxes are paying for…

February 24, 2011 | Steve McGough | | ,

The United States Constitution is quite specific … the federal government is to preserve, protect and defend the United States of America from all threats. One of the tools we use to meet that responsibility is the UH-60 Blackhawk.

Warren Miller Entertainment was shooting a project with the United States 10th Mountain Division out in Colorado and they posted a clip of this fly-by over the Vail Ski Resort.

Oh yeah… Sounds like everyone loved it.

    As long as everyone loved it, that would be enough to justify the expense associated with this cute little stunt!  🙂

    At least the taxpayers could see this flyover, unlike the four F-18's flying over the closed stadium Super Bowl (R) .

    I'm sure they were there to protect Michelle and the girls…. that's good use of military assets isn't it?

    That pilot has "some 'splainin' to do". Or simply a "nap of the earth" training flight.

    I'm guessin' a few liberal elites on the slope that day needed to go change their snowpants after that.

    I thought it was awesome.

    Was that how Michelle Obama got a second serving of short ribs so fast?
