FlightRadar was wrong...?

I know it isn't always accurate, because it sometimes shows the wrong image or slightly wrong location for an aircraft in the sky. But this time, it was just WAY off. Maybe because the craft flying was military....

I heard a loud helicopter so I went outside, and passing slowly over our house at a pretty low altitude, was a big military chopper. I don't know what kind it was.... It was all-black. I watched it until it vanished in the direction of the air force base, and then checked FlightRadar.

But, when I did, it showed up as a C-130 Hercules?? Which - is a WILDLY different craft.... The C-130 is a very big transport plane, and it also sounds nothing like a helicopter. The only thing I could think of was, maybe a C-130 did actually pass by, and the helicopter was just following it.

But uh... I think I would have heard or seen that. Also, there is ZERO chance of a plane that big flying so low to the ground, over houses. That also would have been extremely loud.

So, yeah, it showed a Hercules instead of whatever that black helicopter was... Maybe it was a Blackhawk, but somehow it just looked... Different? Well, whatever. Seeing big mysterious black helicopters flying around is super neat. It did say it was from the Air Force, which makes sense considering it was going to the air force base. 

So cool...
