Boeing AH-64D Apache Longbow
For well over a decade, the spearhead of Army Air Corps striking power has been the Apache AH1, built for British service by what is now AgustaWestland at Yeovil. This mighty 'tank-killing' attack helicopter, which won its US Army spurs in the first Gulf War, has seen extensive Army Air Corps use in combat theatres, specifically Afghanistan and Libya. Its main armament comprises 2.75in CRV-7 rockets, Hellfire missiles (of which it can carry up to 16), and the 30mm M230 chain gun, the latter directed by the pilot's helmet. The variant is easily distinguished by the Longbow fire control radar mounted atop the rotor head. Apaches from two operational regiments based at Wattisham in Suffolk form part of 16 Air Assault Brigade, a potent 'rapid response' unit that combines the employment of airborne forces and attack helicopters. Wattisham's 3 Regiment provides the Apache display for 2015, which has been increased from a solo to a two-ship, accompanied once again by spectacular pyrotechnics as part of an operational-type scenario.

Flying in rather loose, (it has to be said!) formation.
We live within shout of the local air force air base, so it's not uncommon to see these, though less common than seeing a single one!!

The optical sensors and rangefinders for the gunner and pilot can be on the nose of the aircraft.

There were a few of these Apache helicopters sitting on the shore. As we passed, one of them was idling. Just as we cleared enough room for it to go, it took off and flew right behind our boat.

With some spare time on the way back home from a family emergency trip in Arizona i was able to catch the Apache railroad with its classic Alco's heading towards Snowflake Az coming out out of Holbrook
Decoupage & polymer clay
I made this one for myself, I wanted to make it long time ago, just wasn't sure how. I wanted to have a picture and Indian symbols on it. And finally, two days ago I came up with an idea, and here it is: decoupaged wood board and polymer clay elements.
The Apache Trail from Apache Junction thru the Tonto Nat. Forest leads to the Theodore Roosevelt Lake. This Bridge and reflection was just too much to pass up, so we took the pullout and all made several images.

... flying overhead from the nearby airfield. An impressive sight, I was once almost frightened to death by one apparently following me as I walked the riverbank!
The Boeing AH-64 Apache is an American four-blade, twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tandem cockpit for a two-man crew.
It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. It is armed with a 30 mm M230 chain gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage.
It has four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons, typically carrying a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods.
The Apache originally started as the Model 77 developed by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program. The prototype YAH-64 was first flown on 30 September 1975.
The helicopter was introduced to U.S. Army service in April 1986. Over 2,000 AH-64s have been produced to date.
The U.S. Army is the primary operator of the AH-64; it has also become the primary attack helicopter of multiple nations, including Greece, Japan, Israel, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates; as well as being produced under license in the United Kingdom as the AgustaWestland Apache.
American AH-64s have served in conflicts in Panama, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Israel used the Apache in its military conflicts in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip; British and Dutch Apaches have seen deployments in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
