Bunch of helicopters flying all over Bean Town durig the same time. It was a training exercise. Funny story............one night in the eighties, early 80's when Weymouth Naval Air Station was still active I was sitting on the desk in the station and the phones lit up at the same time I heard this god awful roar that was getting louder and louder. One of the first callers yelled into the phone, "you've got as huge plane crashing in your town right now". Ran out side and right over the town hall was a C5 300' off the deck. Called the Naval Air Station withe a number we had, and the officer who answered said they were doing low level, under the radar, landing exercises. He said I might hear, and see it again. I heard it again, but it didn't fly over me the next time. Jesus H. was that plane loud.
