Did someone tell us, "There are no Black Helicopters!"? The Dallas Morning News Army invades S. Texas for training maneuvers 02/16/99 Associated Press CORPUS CHRISTI - It was a scary sight to some South Texas residents: Black helicopters swooped in and dropped helmeted soldiers into the downtown area, even setting a fire in Kingsville. Those weren't foreign invaders in Kingsville and Port Aransas, however. The soldiers were part of the Army's Delta Force, a counterterrorism unit from Fort Bragg, N.C. And they'll probably be back this week. An Army spokeswoman said there may be maneuvers this week in Kingsville, Corpus Christi and around Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. Last week's exercises caught some local officials off-guard. "I didn't know what was going on," Port Aransas Mayor Glenn Martin said. "They [residents] were calling me up asking me about a bunch of black helicopters." Maj. Jeff Fanto, spokesman for Army Special Operations Command headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, said the training was routine. "They're practicing skills of getting in and out of urban areas and special operations for the missions they're responsible for," Maj. Fanto said.(cont.) dallasnews.com
