Impressvive Evasive Manuevering by the AH-64D Apache Longbow

Watch the incredible power and agility of the AH-64D Apache Longbow as its test pilot takes it through a series of impressive maneuvers to avoid enemy anti-aircraft and ground fire. This footage was shot at the 1998 Cox Communications Air & Motor Spectacular on March 8, 1998, in Mesa, Arizona - just 10 miles from the Apache manufacturing plant.

Video of the AH-64D Apache Longbow

I never get tired of the AH-64D Apache Longbow.  What a great attack helicopter.  If you are lucky enough to live in Mesa, Arizona, you can see dozens a day heading in and out of the Boeing Apache plant located in the heart of town, near Falcon Field. I'm sure the "locals" eventually get a little sick of seeing them fly over, but I sure never did.

This video was taken at the Cox Communications Air & Motor Spectacular at the old Williams Air Force Base, which has changed names a couple times since the facility's de-MIL.  It was Williams Gateway Airport at the time, but now it is Phoenix/Mesa Gateway Airport now.

Enjoy the action!  Just be glad you are not on the business end of this monster!
