EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mark Owen, we witness a historic moment as the Army's new AH64D Apache Longbow helicopters bid farewell to Scotland. The image showcases three of these powerful aircraft departing from RAF Leuchars, marking the end of an extensive joint Army/RAF night flying exercise codenamed TLT/NITEX. The exercise itself was nothing short of extraordinary, involving an impressive lineup of 14 different types of rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. These aviation marvels traversed the vast landscapes of Scotland and ventured into the northern regions of England during their mission that spanned from 18th February to 1st March in 2002. As our eyes are drawn to the AH64D Apaches in flight, we cannot help but admire their sleek design and formidable presence. Equipped with rockets, pods, and other advanced weaponry systems, these helicopters exemplify cutting-edge military technology at its finest. Their role as attack vehicles is undeniable; they stand ready to protect our forces on the ground with unwavering precision. This photograph serves as a tribute not only to the skilled pilots who maneuvered these magnificent machines but also to all those involved in maintaining and supporting them. It captures a fleeting moment when power meets grace against a backdrop that symbolizes unity between two branches of armed forces – a true testament to strength through collaboration.
