The Boeing AH-64 Apache is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement, and a tandem cockpit for a two-man crew. Originally, the Apache started life as the Model 77 developed by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program to replace the AH-1 Cobra, and was first flown on 30 September 1975. The AH-64 was introduced to U.S. Army service in April 1986
As an older restoration done a decade or more ago, the original inline six and column shifted 3 speed was replaced with a newer 350 V8 and turbo 400 automatic.
he AH-64 Apache is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter with reverse-tricycle landing gear, and tandem cockpit for a crew of two. The Apache was developed as Model 77 by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program to replace the AH-1 Cobra. First flown on 1 October 1975, the AH-64 features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. The Apache is armed with a 30 mm M230 Chain Gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's belly. The AH-64 also carries a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire and Hydra 70 rocket pods on four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons. The AH-64 also features double- and triple-redundant aircraft systems to improve survivability for the aircraft and crew in combat, as well as improved crash survivability for the pilots. .

Okay so yesterday i met up with my boys of Apache Chief, an up and coming rap group out of my town. You may notice the one on the left, he's in Greene Reveal (who i just took pictures of).
Anyways, for this shot i definitely nailed the looked i was going for, i'm super happy on how it turned out.
if enough people request it, maybe i'll post a before and after or something, let me know!

A not too common sight over Cwmbran, an Augusta Westland AH1 Apache Longbow attack helicopter. The bulbous radar above the rotors is the Longbow radar which enables the helicopter to hover behind cover whilst acquiring targets, exposing only the radar.
The Apache Longbow has been in service since 2005, replacing the Westland Lynx AH7 attack helicopter.
On the tips of the wing stubs are the tubes for the CRV7 (Canadian Rocket Vehicle 7) air to surface missiles. On the port stub is also either a drop fuel tank or some sort of munition. Protruding under the nose is a 30mm chain gun (cannon).
Impressive display by the crew of this Apache Helicopter at all sorts of angles, fairly pleased with this image that has some nice clarity despite being shot at low shutter speed.
Image shot at Manston ( Kent International Airport since 1999 when the RAF departed).

Impressive display by the crew of this Apache Helicopter at all sorts of angles, fairly pleased with this image despite being shot at low shutter speed could have improved it by dropping ISO as ended up at F/29....oops. Light was tricky at times, very bright in some directions, dark in others.
Fearsome looking helicopter - image shot at Manston ( Kent International Airport since 1999 when the RAF departed).
The Apache Drive-In in Globe AZ (Arizona) looked bleak in early May 2013 when I took this photo. Scattered speaker poles had two drive-in speakers mounted, some such as this had one speaker, and many had none left.

These Apaches were doing CQs on the BHR (RIP) while we were off the coast in Korea. Some would perform the slide to the right and land with surprising ease. Some were very unhappy with having to land on a big metal slab moving at sea. I'm sure they were much happier when they were able to put down on the non-moving land.
