AH-64D Apache Longbow Helicopter Landing for Park Cities Fourth of July Celebration

A AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter lands in front of the University Park fire station for the Park Cities July 4 parade and celebration. The helicopter was piloted by Capt. Dan Sears and HPHS and Texas A&M graduate Capt. Thomas Fitch.

Once again brothers and sisters the youtube algorithm bring all of us together, just 9 years after

Why is it though that anytime there's an event like this, there's an old guy walking around right where the helo is going to land?

As someone who worked on them this is in fact a AH-64D Apache Longbow with the APG-78 fire-control, target acquisition system and radar frequency interferometer bubble removed. You can clearly see its bottom mount above the main rotor mast. Standard Apache units have a simple mast cap flush on top of the main rotors

I remember turning up to a line rescue incident a number of years ago. As the only line rescue team in my whole Fire Brigade it felt pretty badass having everyone waiting on our arrival to rescue the casualty. Then we requested Coast Guard in the event we couldn't rescue her, they arrived hanging out the helicopter doing a low pass. Now that was a badass arrival and made me feel like I was playing at my job 😂 probably how those firefighters felt in their badass rigs when an even badasser Apache gunship lands beside them

best way to clean the dust of the street and sidewalk

it always amazes me that this helicopter was produced back in 1975, and yet it still looks so good to this day

I remember this 4th of July, it was my absolute favorite. I was around 10 at the time and seeing the Apache come down right at town hall was amazing

Amazing landing. I'm sure the pilot asked the crew, "are we clear", 20 times.

[noodleyuki]

Pilot: Yo i gotta dump imma land right here.
Gunner: god dammit

My GTA playing ass would’ve hit 16 things prior to landing

0:21 If you're the enemy and you're still looking for it, you're already dead

[JasonSmith-zurn]

Not going to lie that was one of the smoothest landings I have EVER scene .

I have been that close to a fire rescue Helicopter, easily twice the size of this Apache, as it filled internal water tanks from a suburban lake (not unlike the one in this video) to fight a nearby bushfire. And even through the video compression I can tell this caused more wind and was far noisier then that beast.

Military technologies never fail to one-up the competition.

So many people in the comments saying "would have been awesome if he lit the crowd up with rockets and the 30mm." Are you all psychopaths?

00:33 bird gets caught in rotor wash, probably didn't know what hit him.

[joeyscott]

What a beautiful yet deadly machine! To the gentlemen behind the pedals and on the stick, you are some of my personal hero’s!! I proudly served as a Tigershark for 12 years!!

I had 5 of these fly over my house yesterday (I live near London) followed by a few chinooks. I will never get tired of seeing them. This video does not do justice to how loud these things rumble

She: I want to see you babe can you come here
He:I can't I'm in war right now
She:my parents aren't home
He: 0:34
