Apache over Manchester
 
Nice to see an Apache flying north over south Manchester today, not seen one of those in a while.

Presumably a Piper...?

That would be my first thought as well.
But you never know - it could be the Longbow..

Two Apache's actually crossed over the airport North to South late afternoon. I was working at the airport at the time and watched them fly over.

Must be an age thing, I also immediately thought of the very pleasantly shaped Piper twin

Ditto. I wish people would be more specific - or possibly the original poster is so young he/she has never heard of the old Apache! The yoof of today, eh?:ok:

I'm on 17, and I've heard of it..
In fact, a 'new' AAC Apache was at my aeroclub about a week ago - it made a great sight!

Apache
 
Not PA-23
but AH-64

Not PA-23
but AH-64
Now we're talking.
I love seeing them at low level around Wales - it's one 'eck of a sight!

surely not 12th Sep 2011 15:50

You can watch Piper Apaches flying low level in Wales?? A great thought but maybe I am confused again. Perhaps the helicopter thingy should have been called Apache 2?

Ok nurse I'll take the medication now...............
