Military Choppers Buzz Schroon

February 27, 2012/ anthony batson

Sunday could potentially have been the nicest, sunniest, winter's day Schroon Lake has seen for a while. On the ice yesterday, as we hiked over to the beach at the Word of Life Island -- from our launching piont just south of Witherbee's Carriage House -- we saw ice fishermen, cross country skiers, snowmobilers, ATV riders, dog walkers and others out enjoying a walk in the warm sun.

And in the sky over our heads, at around 12.15pm, we snapped the above photo of three military helicopters, flying from the north to the south, straight down the middle of the lake.
