Boeing Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche flew on this day in 1996
Happy New Year all and on this day in 1996, the Boeing Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche flew for the first time.
Two years later at Farnborough Air Show 1998 I saw the second prototype make its first international appearance so here are my photos albeit scans from my original 35mm
Shame they cancelled program under a decade later but as i understood the decision was a combo of rising costs / moving goalposts and the army needed the money to modify, sustain their fleet across on both frotntlines in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Cheers
