I laughed so hard when the comanche bit came up "scheduled to be operational in 2009" Hahaha

[angelarch]

"...Comanche is scheduled to be in service in 2009"... oh, I got some bad news for you from the future lol... :(

Looks like a documentary from 2005 ish

Imagine choppers hovering over a battlefield in WWII, laying down a base of fire, obliterating enemy positions, and ferrying reinforcements to breakthroughs and shipping out wounded, etc. This machine is a warfare game changer

[douglasmilligrock]

Any aircraft is formidable, it's the skills of the pilots that makes them the fighters they're built for.

During WW2 the Germans came up with the first helicopter but it was 2 Polish-American engineers, Piasecki and Sikorsky, competing with each other, who came up with designs that became the big break-throughs in helicopters, Piasecki became part of Boeing

6:50 this dude has 1200 XP racked up on his apache, about to level it up. nice

[Tiber]

9:00 Its 2021 and we now have DCS flight sim to give arm chair war pilots a little taste of the real thing (Looking forward to the Apache module!)

[bondibeast]

i can't handle the presenter, he maintains maximum excitement the whole time its exhausting

[estellemelodimitchell]

Those US pilots being interviewed are still wearing the woodlands camouflage. This must have been shot more than 15 years ago.

The age 64 Apache is my all-time favorite helicopter. I spent pretty close to 5 years building

[gregparrott]

It was mentioned that one had to be careful of hitting things while flying at tree level.
Not always...In a video of a Huey pilot in Vietnam, there was an occasion where in order to retrieve soldiers trapped in an ambush, he CUT a landing path multiple times by lowering his Huey into a bamboo field, shredding the bamboo. By the end of the rescue, the blades were toast. But he rescued a LOT of troops.

I want one of these formidable flying machines in my garage just to intimidate my noisy neighbors 😂

[henningskondowe]

The Apache is engineering poetry in motion 👌

[donjohnson]

I'm a dual ATP (rotary wing AND airplanes), and I will have to say that having flown both helicopters (of multiple types during a decades long Army career) AND later several types of jets all over creation, across oceans during Day, Night, IMC, VMC and etc, during another career, I will have to agree with the guy that says helos at treetop level is more fun than most fixed wing flying---especially the Blackhawk which is BOTH fast when needed and has PLENTY of power.

Odlican xelikopter svaka cast proizvodjac ima

[gianpaolovillani]

The AH-64 Apache is a beautiful helicopter, I want it to remain operational for many more decades, and never need to be replaced from the bell 360.

[tonyincs]

I flew in a Blackhawk doing "dirt sweeps" once.

Pilot was a beautiful blonde CPT. Met her during flight brief before takeoff.

That gal could fly!

Talk about 'map of the earth', that pilot was awesome. We had great views of all ground area on the mountains we were skimming around!

And the whole ride was like a cruise in a Cadillac. Smooth, not bumpy, and with the pilots grace in flight skills, fluid and non-distracting so we could focus on spotting ground troops et al.

Loved that mission!

[davedesousa]

Fun fact after coming out with a new helos they have natives bless the helos an like said they r named after each tribe or the person that's the head of the tribe.

[carlosferduranr]

Excelent information of the helicopters that each army use for their missions
