There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
I heard about Vietnam Nam pilots doing this

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.

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.
