blackhawk down again-9 u.s. soldiers dead
 

Whats up with all the blackhawks being used, why can't we convert our entire fleet to apache?

I can't remember the last time i heard "apache down"

Apache's are attack helicopter with a crew of 2

Blackhawks are utility helicopters that carries troops and supplies

for tactical and practical reason you can carry more soldiers and supplies in a blackhawk helicopter than apache

But they crash every third blackhawk so im not sure if that saves much :)

Yup Apaches are for attack but they still go down. Not as much as blackhawks
