Reports of Mexican Helicopter Spotted in Texas Airspace

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/02/reports-mexican-helicopter-spotted-texas-airspace/

BROWNSVILLE, Texas -- The defense department says it is investigating reports of a Mexican military helicopter seen flying in Texas.

Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez says several people reported seeing the aircraft on Sunday flying over an RV park near Zapata, some 100 miles northwest of McAllen on the border with Mexico.

Border Patrol spokesman Jason Darling says the Mexican military is conducting operations near Zapata along the Rio Grande.

U.S. Department of Defense spokeswoman Maj. Tanya Bradsher says the flyover is under review.

The press relations department duty officer at Mexico's Defense Department told The Associated Press Friday that she has no information on the reports.

A Mexican military helicopter was also spotted March 10 over Zapata County.

    My bet is they know where they were, and they were checking (& covering) the area for gringo LEO's so their shipment would get through......

    PFFT. "Investigating".

    600+ incursions into the U.S. by Mexihole .mil in the past 10 years...and those are the documented ones.

    It's gonna come to a point where they don't meet the nice U.S.B.P., who are usually ordered to take the drug escorts back to the fence and give them their guns back...no Sir.

    One of these days it's gonna be a buncha good ol' boys or just good citizens and it's gonna be some Mexis getting their arses shot off and some Americans with some new "off the books" MGs and a HUMVEE.

    Did you see that episode of the Twilight Zone where the 3 National Guardsmen went back in time and fought at Custer's Last Stand?

    That is what happened to Capitan Jose and Tenente Mario.
    They went through the warp in the space/time continuum, and they are in 1846, looking for the Battle of San Jacinto.
    Maybe they can win the Mexican War for Mexico.

    Was that chopper an Apache Gunship?

    So, if these Mexican pilots can find the Battle of San Jacinto, and win it for Mexico, then Mexico will win the Mexican War.
    California, Arizona, and Texas will go back and be part of Mexico.

    President Bush will be an illegal immigrant. The Mexican governor will make Bush pick lettuce.

    That would have been the PERFECT opportunity to see if the .30-30 was actually sighted in or not. Really, shooting at an "Invading Military Force" would be the ultimate excuse for checking your scope settings.

    According MSNBC, the US & Mexico frequently have joint operations in which helicopters fly both ways over the border and you sheeple should not be concerned seeing our friendly neighbor to the south's helicopters.

    you got it right , wished people were aware that the Mexican Military
    is weeding out the cartels so they can control the drug trade ,, Remember who the Zetas are and where they originated from??
    Look @ Mexican History the military has always been the power..

    Watch closely what happens in the next year or so.

    Yeah, but do they bounce up and down on their skids, and have fuzzy dice hanging off the mirror and scream boom-boom music? Helicopters have mirrors, right?
