Blackhawk Helicopters To Fly Over Marcy This Afternoon

Marcy, NY (WIBX) - If you hear something loud while in Marcy this afternoon, it's only the sound of helicopters flying overhead.
This afternoon at around 3:30, Blackhawk helicopters, operated by the New York Army National Guard, will be flying over the area as part of a training exercise. Today's training will be performed by helicopters from Company F, 1-169th General Support Aviation Battalion, in Rochester, NY.
