US Army Apache Helicopter 101

A US Army Apache Training Helicopter had to do an emergency landing in the field across from my parents house. It was coming in to Fort Hood from California on Sunday evening, and the two pilots smelt something, and decided they were going to have to land. One of the generators went out on it.

My parents, and Brianne, and the kids, and several other neighbors went out there Sunday evening and got to talk to the 2 pilots. Mom said they were really friendly.

At midnight, they landed a Transportation Helicopter that picked up the 2 pilots, and dropped off 3 others, to guard the helicopter, until they could fly a part in to fix it.

So, on Monday morning, Kylee and I went over, and it seemed like the "word" was getting around Wall and several other parents were bringing the kids out to look at it.

Here we are with the helicopter. I ended up having to drive one of the Army guys to the convience store in Wall, and he told me alot about the helicopter. Because what else were we going to talk about.

It only holds 2 pilots, one in front of the other. The one in front is the shooter, and the one in back drives.

Talk about TRUST!!

Here is the big gun underneath!!

The other cool thing is that it was coming from California and was in the filming of the

NEW TRANSFORMERS MOVIE!!

Around 5 on Monday, they ended up getting it fixed and flying away. We all waved bye!!
