I believe there's a Combat Search & Rescue reserve squadron based there. If the Blackhawk was camouflaged and had a midair refueling boom in the nose, that's them.

Blackhawks, maybe? The Coast Guard has their version of a Blackhawk flying around but it's not green of course. Low and slow over Civic Center, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, in a straight line...

It could be to support Urban Shield 2009, but that was last month, and although they've borrowed military UH-60 Blackhawks in the past a CH-47 Chinook is too much. And that wouldn't explain it hovering over UN plaza. Other traffic? Could you explain? Do you have pics? That IS strange. There are very few military facilities in the area.
