Some days ago – Wednesday, I think – I was driving north from Ogden when I saw this US Army Blackhawk chopper sitting on the ground not far off the road. This was at the northern end of the Brigham City airport. It looked then, as it looks in these photos, like the left landing gear leg had collapsed, or it had landed in a hole. But when it took off, the landing gear seemed to be fine. This was the same day that the Coast guard chopper had crashed way off to the south, so I presume it was there for the search & rescue operations.

  1. Looks like an uneven surface landing, probably a contour in the ground hidden by grass. I do love to watch Blackhawks in flight, they sure are purdy!
