Our local Royal Marine base is about 2 miles from my home. One of their choppers just flew over my garden and scared the crap out of me!! The pilot waved
My dog thought it was a GIANT bird & tried to catch it!

Very very cool.
When I was in college at Auburn, we weren't very far from Ft. Benning in Columbus, home of the Rangers. There were many a timethat I would hear the thump thump thump of a helo and walk outside my apartment and look up to see a Blackhawk hovering just above treetop level. Every now and then you could get a guy to wave, most of the time they weren't paying too much attention to those of us down below, they were focused on their training.
