BROWNSVILLE, Texas – The defense department says it is investigating reports of a Mexican military helicopter seen flying in Texas.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez says several people reported seeing the aircraft on Sunday flying over an RV park near Zapata, some 100 miles northwest of McAllen on the border with Mexico.
Border Patrol spokesman Jason Darling says the Mexican military is conducting operations near Zapata along the Rio Grande. U.S. Department of Defense spokeswoman Maj. Tanya Bradsher says the flyover is under review.
The press relations department duty officer at Mexico's Defense Department told The Associated Press Friday that she has no information on the reports. A Mexican military helicopter was also spotted March 10 over Zapata County.

WOW. So how do we distinguish between a "friendly" Mexican chopper and a cartel chopper?
Our government is letting this happen, it just blows my mind.

And the US government will come and arrest you like they did to Ramos and Campeon (sp?)

I wonder if the Mexicans pilots think it's OK to cross the border because the DEA and border patrol planes cross the Mexican border.
What if a US citizen is fired upon by these choppers? What if a US citizen takes one down?
