20. May be related to military at border, but for a few months now, BIG military helicopters doing regular flights over me

Twice a day, usually 2 helicopters flying fairly low towards local airport used by some private, some freight, and US Army Fort near AZ/Mexico border. Flights have been morning (going southeast from airport)and just before sunset (heading northwest to the airport). Those big helicopters that are used to transport people.

Thought it might relate to work going on re the 'border wall' but the major work going on re the wall is well west of this operation, west of the Huachuca Mountains where the army fort is. It did occur to me they might be sending people east of here for some sort of staging. El Paso is not far from this area, especially 'as the bird flies'.

Yeah, I have always watched the sky and see stuff most never notice. Over the years, I have more than a couple chaps in military intel tell me I look up way too much and probably shouldn't. Makes me look even more.
