You cannot turn an Apache this way over the left side.

The tailrotor deprives you of your kinetic energy on a left hand hammerhead.

What makes you guys think it was a left hand turn?

[pluggie]

you have a sightproblem evhust?
The manouver is called a hammerhead. You cannot do it over the left side in an Apache at this level.
Every Dutch Apache pilot can tell you.

[evhest]

Ahh, ever so nice.... Exactly where in this video do you positively see this Apache turning left instead of right?

[Stratofreighter]

Gentlemen,

This Greek pilot made a "balls up" of above manoeuvre.

Please don't let this topic end up in a "furball" of dogfights with all kinds of nasty remarks, answers, etc...

I thought evhest was Erwin at first. I made a mistake.

Never react to trolls. My mistake.

Hammerheads over left are PRO:
