APACHE HELICOPTER IN ACTION AT LIMA AIRSHOW LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA

I didn't know Apache helicopter "longbow" AH-64D can make such maneuver .

The airshow was performed by Republic of Singapore Air Force at Lima Langkawi Airshow 2009. Singapore has 20 AH-64Ds in use as of January 2009.

The AH-64 Apache is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter with reverse-tricycle landing gear, and tandem cockpit for a crew of two.

First flown on 1 October 1975, the AH-64 features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems.

The Apache is armed with a 30 mm M230 Chain Gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's belly. The AH-64 also carries a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire and Hydra 70 rocket pods on four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons.

The AH-64 also features double- and triple-redundant aircraft systems to improve survivability for the aircraft and crew in combat, as well as improved crash survivability for the pilots.

Other types of aircraft videos that I have at youtube are Sukhoi SU30 MKM, Mig 29N Fulcrum, F16 Falcon, Apache Helicopter "LongBow", Bombardier 415 Multipurpose Aircraft & Eurocopter Dauphin AS365 N3.
