No, we’re not being invaded.
After fielding several calls from folks wondering about low-flying military aircraft in the area Thursday, the Register reached out to a Kansas Army National Guard, who said the National Guard wasn’t doing any sort of work in the area, but that Army personnel from Fort Riley were transporting several aircraft, such as helicopters to Texas.
A call to a Fort Riley spokesman confirmed the report.
While the spokesman could not confirm those were the Army’s helicopters buzzing Iola shortly before 10 a.m., and the Humboldt area in the predawn hours, he said several aircraft were scheduled to be passing over Allen County at those times.
