Apache, Blackhawk Helicopters Fly Past Hollywood Sign On Refuel Trip For Army Exercise

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - Nearly two dozen Blackhawk and Apache helicopters flew past the iconic Hollywood sign in Los Angeles as as part of a training exercise Tuesday.

The 22 helicopters from the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade were on their way to John Wayne Airport from Fort Irwin to San Diego during a drill that required a stop to refuel, according to the airport.

Some Angelenos wondered what they were seeing in the skies above SoCal.

All aircraft were set to depart JWA by approximately 1:15 p.m.
