Helicopter Crash Apache Longbow AH-64D Crashes

[BESTPAINTBALLA]

Can't wait For next month I will be flying these in Iraq

[soberek]

That's nothing. Fun part starts when after some proper pilot picks up the crew (or what's left of them) they will send an A-10 to bomb the wreckage (with extreme prejudice). So that it won't fall into enemy hands. And the finale would be the pilot receiving 20000000 bucks receipt for the operation.

@soberek, this was a training exercise on Fort Campbell, KY before the war. Veghel DZ is way up in the northwest corner of post.

[Spyd3rs]

This is why I'm not allowed to fly helicopters in Arma.

[msalak87]

I know it's a multi million dollar aircraft but hey..shit happens and lessons are learned the hard way

[immortalass]

Well that's one quick and easy way to set fire to your career

[sn00ke]

[maddog152fo]

also, nalli77, the longbow is the D model not the A model.

[nalli77]

@maddog152fo HeHe Thanks for those nice comments and the correction on the model fixed wasn't quite sure:) Especially "yeah. i'm a dumbass" and the info on how big a dumbass lol:)

[maddog152fo]

im also a pussy cause im calling "mayday mayday" at an altitude of 3 feet and a speed of 11knots...in the daylight

[maddog152fo]

"apache 974 roger. can u give me the nature of your emergency"

"yeah. i'm a dumbass"

[maddog152fo]

flew apaches for 10 years. the TADS is the infrared sensor that the front seater uses. its primary purpose is targeting but its also used as a backup imaging system while the aircraft is enroute. in this video, the TADS is slaved fixed forward (message in lower left of display) so not linked to his head. this is a daylight hop.

Big Ego is a terrible thing.

He did not think he could make it either that's why he asked.

He was the pilot you don't ask someone else, if you are the captain dumb ash.

The backseat driver was RIGHT! LOL

[Hairysteed]

I thought it was the backseat driver, who does the flying in an AH-64! :O

[DennisH8706]

fukin dumbass is all i got to say

[cmccarthy]

It's either an AH-64A or a Longbow, but not both. The Longbow is the D model.

[Stormchaser2be]

Wow....good recovery after rippin a rotar blade...

[helobelow]

Explain this one to your C.O. ...I don't think he'll have much faith in his pilot after this. Had to watch and laugh again, glad it turned out alright. Thanks for your service to our country at the very least. Be more careful next time.
