Its surprising what modern helecopters can do these days! They are like mini fighter planes, just not as quick, but equally agile and carry loads of stuff! Must have been quite a sight! Not a fan of planes or helecopters but defo a fan of well made machinery! Shame you didn't snap it down on the camera phone and you tubed it!

Bet the pilot must have been "test" flying it lol..

Sounds like an interesting twist to your day! I didn't even know Apache's could do loops?

actually the apache is quite shite as helicopters go these days, its role is more of a tank that flies rather than anything else but do they look mean as fcuk and they do their job very well, they are actually slow and cumbersome to helicopters such as the gazelle etc (1st chopper to do the loop - i think) now the commanche is a different thing!!!!

apaches are cracking choppers. its RTM 322 engines that go into them, we test them up here in east kilbride. awesome, dinky little engine. it takes 3 of them, plenty of power to do crazy takeoff's etc...
