Apache TR Failures
Failure of a TR hangar bearing happened to a AH-64A at Fort Rucker in 1999 while at a 400' hover. Aircraft spun into pine trees, both pilots recovered with minimal injuries.
Israelis had an AH-64A lose its TR in flight and was able to land at very high speed and got it stopped upright. No injuries.
There was another complete loss of AH-64D tail rotor in Afghanistan in 2007 (only the TR gearbox remained). The pilot was able to continue flight to a runway. He realized on first landing approach that he was not setup well enough and went around. Second approach resulted in more or less controlled touchdown and roll out. No injuries.
The Apache may be one of the ugliest helicopters made, but it is incredibly sturdy.
Kudos to the aircrew in original post.
