If you have no life and can't resist clicking on "Next" you will come to this video, which I happened to find quite interesting.

One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

The Nam chopper jocks had ice water in their veins. They pulled off some stunts that were beyond crazy, and while under fire. I wonder if that pilot's call sign is "Cool Hand Luke." It would fit. That "landing" took some big brass ones to pull off. Pretty amazing.

The Apache is 227 mph. I was lucky enough to have ridden in one; but, not at that speed.

AH-64D Apache
The AH-64 Apache, considered as one of the most advanced multi-mission combat helicopters, is also one of the fastest military helicopters in the world. It can attain a maximum speed of 284km/h in hot day conditions.
That is 176.46 MPH
Here is one of many places that gives that info. https://www.airforce-technology.com/features/featurethe-worlds-fastest-military-helicopters-4171605/
When my Brother in law, who is retired army hydraulic Pneumatic specialist for helicopters told me that the Chinook was the fastest US military helicopter, I thought he was lying, after much research, I found out he knew his stuff.
