Blue-958- Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Pretty much as the title suggests, a British Army Air Corps Apache attack helicopter (AH-64 Longbow), landed on the school field, the pilot was an ex-member of the cadet force at the school which goes some way to explaining why they brought the beast to our rugby field. Took some videos and pics which I'm sure some of you will be interested to see. Enjoy...

Chuck Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Woaaaaaa!, that is so cool! Did you get the whole day off? Quite jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 That's pretty neat, I've only ever seen an Apache up near Lossiemouth once and it disappeared pretty quickly. I can post a few screenshots or videos of Typhoon jets flying about over the town this weekend if people would be interested in that?

Blue-958- Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Woaaaaaa!, that is so cool! Did you get the whole day off? Quite jealous! Landed at 1400, took off at 1515, had lessons inbetween but the army section got to hang around and chat to the pilot, it was great fun though for what I got to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
