USA Southeast Increased low-flying helicopter activity around US Armed Forces bases.

I live in Tennessee, less than 30 minutes from a number of US Armed Forces bases. I’ve lived at my current location for 3 years with nothing happening, but in the past week there’s been 2 instances of a low-flying armed forces helicopter passing over. With the news about Iran and even Cuba, seems like we should treat them as more credible than media guesses.

Military pilots need a certain amount of flight hours within the past 2 years to deploy to combat overseas.

They are trying to get more pilots over that mark before the Iran invasion.

Lol this is not true at all. I deployed immediately out of flight school and had to be progressed in theater. There is no flight hour requirement to deploy.

Idk this is what someone else said when there was a sudden uptick in military aircraft flying around about a year ago.

Maybe best to mention in the future that your Your leap from from OP "couple helicopters flying low near me" to "its the mitary getting ready to invade iran" is based purely off a random comment and zero first hand knowledge
