Re: North Las Vegas

OK.

I had a quick look on Sunday evening and both Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and there was no sign of them.

The two US Army Chinooks popped in to Nellis around sunset on Monday and Tuesday. I left the area on Wednesday.

Nellis and Las Vegas are actually at 2000ft (above sea level), so it could be on the ground! It's also a public holiday today.
