Let us not forget, Hughes Helicopter Inc. was the designer of this great machine in Culver City, Ca. The same building where the “ Spruce Goose” was constructed. It was flight tested in Carlsbad, CA and we lost many pilots on that program🙏🏻I was hired as a chase/ corporate pilot/ GTV operator in 1975 after I had returned from Vietnam. Engineering test pilots were from Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. Many flew in WWll and Korea and Nam. 200 total folks total in flight test facility, one half mile from the beach. What a great group of patriots. It was a great program,not without its problems, T tail come to mind. I was the youngest pilot at the age of 26👨🏻‍✈️Great time in my life and I still miss it to this day, what great memories. 😅 I miss those 0500 sorties, as the sun rose when the air was calm and close to standard🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I live in Burbank CA.

[@dougharding5231]

I was a tech with Sperry Flight Systems during that time. I remember Operation Stovepipe, where Sperry had to perform a 24 hr turnaround on any of their failed avionics and computer equipment on board. My group engineered the fire control systems on board. My specialty was the MRTU boxes.

US Military aviation is the worlds best

[@sebastiansieradzki8484]

I am glad that my country Poland has ordered 96 units of the latest version with the most upgraded configuration. Polish military will become second user of the apache helucopters in the world, obviously after the US military. All our apaches will go to one heavy division equiped in 366 units of M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tanks. It is going to be the strongest armored division of NATO in Europe.

[@MrG77]

Sorry the UK was second to get them.🙏

The 30mm chain gun on the Apache is accurate up to 2.5 miles away and the Hellfire missiles have a range of 5 miles.

Not to mention. One helicopter can lockon whike another fires at that lock.

[@mrwoody1413]

@madhatterstunts I didn’t know that. That’s pretty freaking cool!

[@dougharding5231]

I was present at some firing practices at Ft. Hood years ago. And I'm here to tell you that, every once in a long while, a Hellfire can suddenly veer way off course -- like 90 degrees. I saw it and the pilots acknowledged it.

That helicopter looks angry, even when it’s in transport mode with the blades hold it back. It looks like it could attack you at any time and blow you up. It just has that bad ass vibe about it. That don’t mess with me look. You know what I mean? a wonderful piece of military hardware. One that all of America‘s enemies should fear.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@danwarner3911]

How do you do such a thorough video of the Apache and not even mention the TADS/PNVS system on the nose that the pilots use to see at night (and FLIR) and target acquisition??

[@richardlovelace3849]

Not meant for one to know.

[@hollywood41601]

They left that stuff for you bubba, all part of their plan

[@TiffanyBottomsHunter]

Some things, like the TADS/PNVS system , are sensitive military technologies that have limited information made public, like with many Military weapons systems. National Security reasons.

[@ripclaybourne]

@Dan Easy, watch it again and you can see how for the second time.

[@TiffanyBottomsHunter]

@@ripclaybourne Only authorized Military personnel have access to that kind of knowledge about the systems. It’s like trying to go on a Military base, you have to have clearance.

[@randytessman6750]

They Cheyenne's daughter became the Queen of the battlefield but the MANPADs could be ending her reign sadly. Helicopters will be with us for a long time yet but soon it will only be civilian, missiles & drones are changing the game. Was lucky enough to tour Fort Bragg in 2000 and got to see more then 90 of them lined up on the flight line. Even more spectacular thou was seeing 2 dozen fly in close formation doing NOE flight, you barely heard them coming but when they went by you couldn't hear yourself. Amazing tour back them we were shown every part of the base except the SF training ground.

I'm from the UK & thank all the brave American Armed Forces for their dedication. Now to business. The Apache is truly the boogie man. Hiding not in the closet but behind a hill. Waiting to pounce on the unwary foe. Must make one boast for my country we actually nuked you twice. Obviously not in reality but you Americans invited us to try. Using Vulcan Bombers we did it twice. Hurrahhh to the RAF

[@rambultruesdell3412]

We're going to fly the aircraft in to maintenance. To 🇩🇪

[@user-rp2nq1ev6x]

The Apache typically carries 16 Hellfire missiles, not a dozen.

[@ToastSoon4808]

Beautiful helicopter.....how will it hold in battle where the enemy has planes, choppers and ground to air missiles? I'm concerned - the reaskn being when last did the Americans fight an enemy that has this kind of equipment?

[@Epieic3]

I don’t think we’ve ever fought an enemy with modern equipment that you’ve mentioned, unfortunately the u.s. needs to start preparing for that..

[@kenprier7413]

Oh yes we did. Look up Desert Shield/Desert Storm as well as operations in Afghanistan

[@user-rp2nq1ev6x]

The AH-64 Apache helicopter was originally built by Hughes aircraft, not McDonald's Douglas.

any aircraft would be, stealth was not a feature of its design. It's a CAS rotor aircraft intended to help infantry, not suppression of enemy air defences.
