I live in former USAF officers MQ's on a base which has been reactivated as an Army base. It is, however, not a "flying" base! But... It's a training ground for other nearby bases and an alternative European runway for the Space Shuttles :y :y :y :y

Anyway... I digress! When we first moved in the whole base was unoccupied save us and one other property. I went outside because of a low flying helicopter to be greeted with an Apache hovering over the neighbours garden! He was that low I could see the rivets and writing on the access flaps :o :o :o He then shot off over the top of me, down the gardens between the bungalows and into a near vertical climb :y :y :y Awesome sight :y :y :y

Just wait till you see it unleash it payload..break me!  ;) ;D ;D

I'd like to have seen a sequel featuring them vs the RAF or FAA - that would have been funny - especially if it was NAS801
