In mid-August I watched AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopters fire rockets and cannon at targets on Range 40 at Camp Grayling, Michigan. The exercise included ground troops, mortars, artillery and US Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II ground attack fighters.
Here are the Apaches firing rockets and cannon:
Next post I will show the ground crews loading the rockets and 30mm chain gun.
Veteran of four wars, four enlistments, four branches: Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard. I am both an AF (Air Force) veteran and as Veteran AF (As Fuck)
