A quote from West Coast "The only judgment on the differing levels of aggression should come from those that the Apaches provide support to."
I think that for the US Army pilots to quote about the level of aggression displayed by UK Army Air Corps pilots is a little
naïve.
I wonder how many times they have actually flown with UK Apaches supporting troops in contact. It is interesting that there are no quotes from any CW rank, who, traditionally are there more
experienced pilots in command.
Having listened to two UK Apache pilots at CFS recently
I think that those who have seen the aggression at first hand, both UK and US ground troops have no complaints about the AAC pilots. Maybe CO 3 PARA could give his opinion!
I think it might also be worth noting that none of the AAC AH pilots have given this story so much as a sniff, good on'em.
