Description Another one from Taji, Iraq. Two apaches were hovering here for a second preparing to start their patrol. About five minutes after I shot this, everyone could here the sound of their .50 caliber guns firing on something.

Apaches ... They always prowl around Iraq. Insurgents are scared shitless of them.

If i was was gonna be a pilot at all...it would be flyin one of these babies! The sweetest, most feared chopper in the world...The Apache! I think it would be awesome....however, im more of a grunt, and tend to prefer ground under my feet. There's no shortage of that in the Marines....no sir!
