Message posted by Aaron Johnson on March 01, 2004 at 14:56:58 PST:

At approxiamtely 1250 pm PST. A heavily modified UH-1D or later model, was spotted flying at low altitude approx 300 to 500 feet over sepulveda and crenshaw, in torrance, general direction was E/SE suspected destination was probably Los Alamitos since it is a Army reserve airbase.

The modified Huey in question has a newer IR supression package on the exhaust area and is also angled up to blow into the downwash of the main rotor. This particulary huey was also elongated I suspect it was a variant of the D model. Unable too read the buzz numbers didn't get my binoc's next time I will get em and will make a report to appropiate authorities.

Regards
Aaron J.
Happy sky watching too all.
