A National Guard chopper crew scared Arizona residents by making a midair candy drop to a private Halloween party in their Black Hawk have been suspended.
Locals living near 36th St. and Camelback Road in Phoenix were left more terrified than usual late Oct. 31 when the military whirlybird swooped close to their homes, reports FOX 10.
Many believed that their streets were under some kind of attack.
“I didn’t know if it was going to be a crash, or an attack, no clue,” one neighbor told the news station.
“When I came out it was nose down, and it was definitely military,” added another.
But after cellphone footage of the incident was posted online, it emerged that the crew was in fact making an unauthorized sweet treat drop to partygoers below.
The elite crew had reportedly taken off from the Papago Park Military Reservation and was embarking on a training mission in the suburb of Deer Valley
But they decided to make the spooky impromptu stop midway.
The Arizona National Guard launched an investigation after seeing the video, which was posted online.
“The incident was not sanctioned by the Arizona National Guard and will be investigated further to ensure it does not occur again,” an official statement said.
“The Arizona National Guard does not authorize nor condone the use of military aircraft or equipment for personal use,” it added.
We’re surprised the Ferguson Police Department doesn’t have these.
