Helicopters at Gillette

[Ring 6]

There were 2 helicopters on the practice fields Sunday. My son has been asking me for 4 days who was in them. I figured someone here would know.
I guessed one was Kraft and the other was Miami owner.

Were they black and in "hush" mode???

Probably just delivering the $14M or so that the Pats are under the salary cap...

Off in the distance, if you listened carefully, you could hear "Ride of the Valkyries" blaring from the chopper. Ron Borges was spotted at the stick grumbling, "I love the smell of Napalm at one o'clock on Sundays."

My first thought reading that thread title was that The Prisoner* had escaped and was trying to squeeze in a workout before sneaking off to a really good hiding place in Bristol.

Brady and his Mini-Me (Edelperson) were drying their flowing manes.

I heard that he's looking for a one-armed man who is responsible for the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, the drive by double homicide in 2012, and the nightclub shooting in Florida.

I heard the one armed man also wore #81 and played the role of Aaron Hernandez during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 46.

As you assumed most likely one was Kraft, however Goodell was on the sideline pre-game and he would be my guess for the second. At least when Trump comes to town you don't have to guess whose helicopter it is since his name is plastered all over.

Weird. I would have found it more likely that Goodell would have been at the Jets game.

It was Putin dropping in for a surprise visit...

One was there all game, and one came, left and came back at the end.
I assumed the Dolphins owner flew in the morning of the game, and took the helicopter to and from the airport, however if Goddell was there, maybe that was his.

Does anyone know if that is common for Kraft? Ive been to about 8 games the last 2 years and have never noticed one before.

In the past I've always noticed at least one, usually about 90 minutes before kick-off and can't miss the Trump copter. I'm amazed at times considering the wind in the lots that copters and banner planes can fly overhead, I am disappointed that the majority of the replies from folks with several thousand posts that you couldn't be more helpful to "Andy" who also has several thousand posts since it was a Dad trying to answer his son.....be a comedian if you want but recognize the long time posters as someone asking a legit question.

the Prisoner*...heh...good one

 

[BlueThunder]

Did some searching and came up with this possibility.

Sounds plausible.

They'd only have to turn on their bubble gum machines to cut through traffic.

Just one of a few run stuffing NT's that Belichick has tried to replace Wilfork with, in the end he thought it would get to many chopper penalties so traded for soap instead!

get a grip, man - the humorous responses are one of the main reasons why most of us read these pages. You could assume each 'attempted funny' response is the same as an ' I DONT KNOW' if you prefer. And at least they are bumping the thread increasing the odds a more knowledgeable person might see it.

Unless a poster is an FAA flight controller and the OP provided the tail-numbers it is pretty likely that 99% of fans would have absolutely 0 ability to answer Andy's question, particularly since it was posed 4-5 days after the event.

I seriously doubt andy (as many rough-&-tumble interactions as he takes part in) took offense at the 'funnies'; so not sure why you should.
