Hi all

Here some pics of the best attack helicopter in latin america, of course in the Colombian Air Force.

The AH-60L Arpia III, a black hawk with more than just teeths.

She has the same heart than the israeli Ah-64 Apache, and can carry the same weaponds than it, but the US government dont want sell us the Hellfire or the aam, so we have the israeli Spike and nimrod for her  ;D

She's a beauty!  Looks like a better craft than the Apache for Latin America.  After all, it's probably not going to be called on to blunt a gigantic Soviet armored onslaught like the Apache was designed to do.  The added interior space of the UH60 should make it versatile, and plenty surviveable for the local air defenses.
