Large Helicopters on maneuvers over Crossville Saturday.

A group of 3 helicopters flew over Crossville Saturday afternoon about 3 PM.

The choppers appeared to be Sikorsky Super Stallion heavy lifters that have a crew of 2 and can carry up to 19 additional passengers.  These choppers can also be used for transporting large items as well.

Photos of a similar flight indicate they may have flown over Nashville also on Saturday.

  1. They were very impressive (and loud!). I agree they seemed to be the great big helicopters which I believe are the Super Stallions (or maybe Navy Sea Stallions). I think former City Mgr Ted Meadows' son flew one, and later flew the President's helicopter.

    1. I had to research to figure out what they were. The Sea Stallions only have 4 blades and were retired from military service a couple years ago.
