GUNNER - SABOT - CHOPPER!
lol - I thought I was reading the sales thread again with the photos of my kilt!
My first exercise when on active duty was to portray the OPFOR for the operational tests of the then-new Longbow-series Apaches (AH-64C/D models)
You helo shooting tanker you... ::)
I go for high-value targets. No jeeps on this guy's target list!
Judge - if you want to see a lot of them, come visit sometime. We have an entire National Guard Apache battalion (24 birds) based at the airport here in town, and I know a few of the pilots.

When can I visit?
Any time after next week - still reorganizing the man cave right now and too much crap on the futon for anyone to crash there.
You kind of threw me. I wasn't expecting you to actually let me in your house.
Not all Grogheads hold grudges, like Herman Hum.

It's a new gov initiative - they're just checking all Scottish houses that wanted to vote yes for independence - any sign of trouble and you get a tartan hellfire through your patio doors
And yes that's a chat up line in Glasgow

Now if I were drinking coffee at the time.... :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:
LOL. Made me chuckle.
A tartan hellfire.........haha.
Man how fun it must be to live in a country where this sighting is rare...
I can more or less tell military choppers apart by the sound of their rotors (and also partially jet fighters) :))
When I lived in Germany in the mid-80s, we used to be able to use the F4 overflights to tell time. 2d one in the afternoon = dinnertime.

Jet fighters don't have rotors...DUH! :buck2:

I mean by the sound they make... :P
They have a lot more rotors than copters. But the rotors are shrouded.
