[Mockeraina]

This looks like it is in Texas @ the Alliance Airport Cause Bell Helicopter building in the back ground.

[thetownidiot5]

[tudythegangster]

[skydive911]

[headhunter7766]

@thetownidiot5 Amazing!

[Clay3613]

@skydive911 I love Mesa

[fanofrhymeswithstar]

It's a Longbow. It just doesn't have the APG-78 installed. Look carefully at the fuselage, particularly below the cockpit, and compare that to the A-model.

[rotorleopard]

Is it much higher to the windshield on the D model than the A?

[thadutchguy]

that aint no longbow....

[blackrob2001]

fence got pwnded

[adooma1984]

it's because of the vorticies from the rotor blades generrating lift

[hckyplyr72]

That is not a longbow...its a AH-64D model...I worked on them.

[pedrohawk3293]

I THINK AH-64D IS THE LONGBOW!!!!

[cws2oo6]

the D model is the longbow....and this is neither...

[hckyplyr72]

You are correct...I mistyped...AH-64A...most likely 1985 model but I cant read the tail number

[legoman05]

@hckyplyr72 It is a longbow, (All D models are) it just doesnt have the Radar. I fly them. Thanks for working on them.

[budismo2]

@hckyplyr72 the longbow have an big radar above the main rotor

[jackz50cal]

@budismo2 The radar dish is considered by many pilots as extra weight...they might have taken it off...

[WindmillStalker]

@hckyplyr72 In that case you would mean it's any other model BUT a model D...since the model D *is* the Longbow and this obviously isn't a Longbow (lacking mast radar dome).

SO, if you're going to be smartypants online and throw around the (supposed) fact that you're an Apache mechanic, you should really get your most basic facts correct.

[gunneruk1983]

@hckyplyr72 AH64-D is the longbow fella, that would be an AH64-A

[MontezumaUH60]

@hckyplyr72 if you worked on them youd know AH-64D are longbow standard........

[MontezumaUH60]

@hckyplyr72 I hope you meant AH-64A

[hckyplyr72]

@MontezumaUH60

Yes if you read the next post I realized right away I mistyped. I worked on them late 80's early 90's and we did not have any Longbow Apache's. The OH-58D's would fly to help laser targets for the most part. Someone tried to say that all Apache's are Longbows which is not correct. Now they are but back then they weren't.

You are correct...I mistyped...AH-64A...most likely 1985 model but I cant read the tail number

hckyplyr72 2 years ago

[MontezumaUH60]

@hckyplyr72 ok my bad, no disrespect to a guy who came before me

[xenomorphelv426]

@hckyplyr72 no it's an AH64A (without mount radar).

AH64D can only be Longbow radar equiped.

[DSMeclipsegst]

ok people get it right planes have propellors helicopters have rotors there is a big difference -.-

[TheLedgends]

thats not longbow, longbows got that weird thing on top of the propelllors right?

[whyunknown]

its the same plane, the thing on the top of the rotor blades is a radar, they just took it off

[smaug911]

a longbow is the dome thing above the rotor yes, not the actual aircraft, juts the radar and targeting system of the apache, witht he dome thing above the rotor

[hellcatdave1]

No, its because the propellor blades produce a large amount of wind that can make anything light move.

[thetownidiot5]

Yes i ment that it was windy from the helicopters blades.

[thetownidiot5]

ya it was just really windy

[JamesSasso]

that guy standing underneith it was fine tho :P

[nitefly8]

uh, nice footage, but that's not a longbow, in an alpha model

[ApacheCobra]

Actually it is a longbow.

[Ltony2]

Look at the avionics bay and above the rotor, its an Alpha.

[ApacheCobra]

Oh yeah, you're right. Didnt look close enough at first, my bad.

[nitefly8]

no, it's an alpha, i work on these for a living, i get used to noticing the subtle differences

[Stormchaser2be]

Doesnt the longbow have the radar at the top of it? Idk...i know more about jets than I do choppers...even tho my name is talking about storms...

[nitefly8]

well, there's two variations of the D model, the Longbow, which has the fire control radar installed, and just the D model, with no fcr. but both can be identified by the extended avionics bays and air data sensors mounted to each engine nacelle, you'll notice the one in the video has the air data sensor mounted on top of the main rotor head. Also, most A models have the anti-collision lights mounted on the wing, while the D model's are on the engine nacelles.

[ericspeak]

nice

[thetownidiot5]

watch the fence it falls over it was so windy i could barly see the helicopter.
