The baddest attack helicopter in the sky, AH-1Z Viper from HMLA-469




I really have to wonder why the AH-1Z hasn't gained more overseas sales.  It's one of the few marinized attack helicopters in operation.  AH-64?  No.  Not at all.  The Brits might operate them from ship and you might have seen US Army Attack Birds flying from USN ships but they're not optimized to operate from them (just like the operation that saw the 101st waste a carrier filling its decks with UH-60s).
