Apache Rant
Just like to start this forum for all you people out their that love to slag the programme off. So go ahead and have a good old rant, maybe its because you were not selected to go on the programme or you have small dicks but i dont really care.
Instead of praising the good hard work being done by most within the programme you chose to pick fault. So crack on if it gives you some enjoyment then feel free. If anyone cares to put something positive it is greatly recieved, and to those who have been positive in the past thanks to you.

CPG, strange that you would invite people to take cheap shots at the Apache. I assume by your user name, (or should I say you're implying) that you are part of an Apache crew. Hope there's not any Taliban on here, my guess they'll be taking shots soon enough!
Take care out there, it's not a jungle!

CPG,
Do you find anything positive to say about the Apache programme? I could post a hundred pros and a hundred cons on the whole subject of Apache, but I don't see the point. Admitedly, in all the forums I visit that touch on the Apache Program in the UK, its impossible fo find anyone with anything good to say. That said, the internet is filled with pseudo-'types' who are all to eager to jump on any band wagon. Negative press and photographs of Apaches in 'mothballs' are ten-a-penny on the Web. CPG, go ahead and post your pros on the Apache and I'd be more than happy to discuss/debate.

PS. On a personal note, I wet my pants everytime I see one fly.

Which programme was this?
I know there was one on the National Geographic channel the other day, but took little notice as I thought I had seen it before.
The 'cheap shots' you mention, would they be the Scouts that accompanied the Cavalry and tracked the Apache, enabling the slaughter of thousands of the indiginous peoples of Northern America? I believe they were paid little more than a few dollars, but as much coffee and beans that they could consume.
As for being selected to go on the programme, one of my secondary school teachers once took part in an educational TV programme, but I think it was about the Victorians and not American Indians. As for the size of his dick, well it wasn't that sort of school so I wouldn't know! Personally, I never had to hide myself in the showers after PE!
Could you tell me if there is a similar programme on Sky soon about the Souix as I would like to record it.
Thanks,
SS

Apache was one of my favourite tracks on my "The Shadow's Greatest Hits" LP and my schooldays girlfriend named her pony after it too. So why would I slag it off?
I didn't know the Shadows had a programme on TV though - I thought they'd retired now. I wouldn't be asked to go on it 'cos I never could do that fancy footwork thing they did whilst playing their guitars.
Or is there another Apache?

Haven't you noticed that PPRuNers have a tilt at all the programmes. We snipe at delay, cost, stupidity, silence and lack of accurate guidance. We speculate to accumulate the often outrageous and almost slanderous snippits of information, without unnecessary personal attacks. Look through the records and I think you will find the treatment of Apache is nothing special. Take your anger out on some research: Harrier gets 591 threads so far with another 237 for SHAR; VC10 - 347; C130 - 336; Chinook - 395; Lynx - 322; Tanker - 299; Apache/AH64 - 236; FSTA - 114.
Of your 236 threads which hark back to May 2000, 51 have Apache in the title and many target the procurement process, aircrew and associated issues. The rest only mention AH in passing. As for an AH capability, a poll in March 2003 acknowledged that the largest proportion of voters said: Yes, lets prove it.
So what is your point? If this it just an attempt to boost the ratings for Apache and beat SHAR, your timing is dreadful. Your colleagues in 9 Regt are preparing to prove AH in Oman in the new year then take it to a difficult and challenging operational theatre. How is this thread helping?

ENDLESS AIRCRAFT - WELL DONE THE REMEs
Gravity,
Good news about lots of Lynx (Lynx assumed Queen of the Sky Status as the last Scout landed!). I thought Lynx had a spares/available problem. But only one Apache shame.
