We recently spent a delightful week at Topsail Beach, NC. One thing I particularly enjoy at the beach is bird-watching. Let me share videos of two groups with you.

Hi John, the beach looked beautiful! I loved the birds and the way they change formation to save energy I presume. It’s the first time I have ever seen helicopters flying like that. Were they looking for something or someone?

I think the Marines were flying in formation to send a message to the beachgoers that they are ready!!!

I do like both. The helicopters are exciting to watch.

I hadn’t seen that many aircraft in formation in a long time.

I like the first one best. The second is a bit disturbing to me. Perhaps I have seen Apocalypse Now too often.

They were both a pleasure for me.

The birds of course! They are a lot quieter than the second video I bet!

Very impressive! I was ready to say I enjoyed the feathered fliers more, but the helicopters were just too cool to see all at once like that.

Being retired military, I’m always pleased to see our servicemen in action.
