Scalp hunters

Another view of West Jordan ANG Base, just outside Salt Lake City where a line of Boeing AH-64A Apaches, including 868978 and 869040 await attention, 9th October 1996.

 

The Apache is probably the most feared western helicopter of all time with an extraordinary amount of fire-power.

 

Without even pointing the helicopter at the target, that chin mounted gun can be fired from all directions simply by the crew using their helmet-mounted sights to look at the enemy position and the amount of rockets and missiles this killing machine can unleash is not even worth thinking about!

 

There is simply no-place to hide when an Apache arrives on scene.
