About 3 plus mins in after the Herc, appears to be a single seater, though with a tight squeeze you might get a Nav in the back..

On an unrelated topic - watching those AH-64s (or AH-1s if you want to be picky) reminds me of how acutely vulnerable helicopters are to ground fire.

From personal experience, despite appearing to be high performance and one of the few equipped with air bags, that type can be very high maintenance and the whining noise they make can be difficult to silence.

Being picky, it is AH1.

I'll have another look, but I didn't see any Harriers first time round!

Don't recognise the make and model but it looks pretty fast and is carrying two tanks so I'm sure it can go the distance.
