Chaps and chapesses,

A quick question if I may. Does the Apache, Cobra, Mangusta and other attack helicopters of that ilk have dual controls, i.e. cyclic and collective in both of the cockpits allowing the pilot and gunner/weapons operator to fly the aircraft?

Some Attack helicopters do..... Some don't. The Lynx mk 8 has a single stick.

Apache and Cobra both have dual flight controls, and both crew are qualified pilots (USA/USMC/British Army)... I don't know about the others.
