NEW: Helicopter destroys Hurricane Helene recovery supplies in
Burnsville, North Carolina at a distribution site.
Locals say two black SUVs did a "slow roll" 45 minutes before the
helicopter showed up.
"This evening at approximately 7:18 in Burnsville, NC an unmarked
helicopter flew in and attempted to destroy the distribution area that
was set up by locals for locals while I was conducting a K9 Security
Round," megsbacn, a veteran volunteer said on TT.
"THIS WAS NOT ONE OF OUR HELOS! This was about 45 minutes after 2
unmarked black SUVS and a side-by-side did a slow roll at the entrance
of our parking lot and left."
"[The helicopter] was UNMARKED and it is illegal to fly unmarked
helicopters. But we know SF can and does and we know some private
contractors do (not sure of the legalities on that though)..."
"So who were they? Why were they here? Why were they masked up? I've
done plenty of helo ops with Coast Guard helos and I know a practiced
rotor wash when I see it and our pilots never masked up this way."

Is it just me, or do we seem to have far more "enemies within" the
United States than we realize??

Could have been an accident but seems very odd.

GETTING AID TO THE PEOPLE OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
Moved 17,000 lbs of aid on October 1st and 2nd, another 12,000 lbs on
the 3rd.
This group and others in the private sector have stepped up to the call
of everyday Americans to serve again at their own personal expense. We
were assisted by the Appalachia State football team in loading the
aircraft in Boone, NC to carry that aid farther west into the regions completely cut off to any services. We are currently based out of Boone
at this time and are the only medium / heavy lift operators in that
sector. We are expecting 18D from Bragg / Liberty to be in the area and
we will be lifting them into areas of highest need for their skill set.
Victims are the wrong color:
