Wings Over Pitt - Pt 3 (U.S. Army Sky Soldiers)

Postby Roughrider » Sun Jun 17, 2007 9:10 am

I've never seen these guys before. They are a U.S Army precision Helo demonstration Team, like the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels, but with the AH-64 Cobra. I was really impressed, these guys are really good. You have to see it to appreciate it, still pictures don't do them any justice. Let me know what you think!

Those are AH-1s, not AH-64s. ;D


Nice to see those dinosaurs still flying.

Very cool!  8-) I didn't know the Army had a demo team until now.  That's something I'd like to see.
