BIO:

The AH-64A Apache and AH-64D Apache Longbow serve as the primary heavy attack helicopters for the United States Army and Israeli Military. Initially deployed in 1983, the Apache is a tried-and-true attack craft, armed with a plentiful array of weaponry and able to reach speeds of 153 knots. It follows a fairly conventional main rotor/tail rotor layout, but carries with it the mean looks of a workhorse aircraft ready to do business. Its primary armament is a 30mm Gatling cannon with 1200 rounds of ammunition. Additionally it can carry eight Hellfire missiles, rocket pods, and dual AIM-9 Sidewinders for self-defense. The AH-64D Longbow variant has upgraded avionics and most notably a dome above the main rotor housing a fire-control radar for improved target acquisition. It has seen extended use in the Persian Gulf and is currently performing operational duties with Coalition forces in Iraq.
