A helicopter — that the aviation website flightradar24 describes as a US Army helicopter — was flying circles over Round Lake about 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 15, 2021.
UPDATE: The helicopter may have taken off and landed at Campbell Airport in Grayslake.
The helicopter, described as a US Army Eurocopter UH-72A Lakota, was flying at an altitude of about 1800 to 1900 feet with a ground speed of about 36 knots (41 mph).
The pilot has taken at least 8 circles around the lake, and was also as far southwest as Main Street and Long Lake Road, and made several passes over Round Lake High School.
