What is the deal with Black Helicopters?

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

Ok, why is it a problem for the government to fly Flat Black helicopters? What is so scary about that?

I have seen them, and they don't appear to be any different than regular ones.

Waco, for one.

I thought it was illegal to have unmarked, IE untraceable, vehicles.

Most Black Helicopters are military gear.

Campbell, Kentucky is the home of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, which is also the home of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Nicknamed the "Nightstalkers", there motto is "Death Waits in the Dark" and there helicopters as well as DEA drug unit copters are a source of a lot of these so called black helicopter sightings.

The paint is that way because its a specific blend, called "CARC" because it helps to avoid infra-red survaliance and from what I have been told by my uncle, even sometimes radar absorbant, actually he says if you were to get close there not really black at all, but more of a very, very dark green.

Black, green, whatever I just don't see what the big deal is.We have a big government, and they fly around...same as cooperate CEO's

Also, I don't see anyone complain when they see a vehicle from a local military base driving around with no plates

Commonly associated with Black Ops. They were also used in Waco, and Ruby Ridge by your favorite alphabet soup govt entities(FBI, DEA, ATF take your pick) for reconnaisance. Most paranoid anti govt individuals fear or hate them. I use to post on a gun board many years back. Everyone seemed to be paranoid about the govt. and was always talking about black helos around their neigborhood and such. When one of the board members shot up a cop car killing the officer and running for the hills of TN and insuing a manhunt. Some of you guys may remember the incident, it was covered nationally and pics of the officers car still gets emailed every so often. Most of the board defended his actions. Claiming "the man" pushed him into a corner. I knew I needed to stop posting there and associating with those nutjobs.
