    Heard an unusual chopper for a couple of hours (4-6PM HST) with no visual. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae5a05 then I stepped outside to see 8 parachutes headed to MCTAB / Bellows AFS. The Marines at MCBH don't have CH-47's - that Chinook is based at Wheeler AAFB, but landed at MCBH after the drop. I'm not going to post the crappy cell phone pix of the parachutes. If I had caught the drop, I'd post.
