The AH-64 Apache is a U.S. Army attack helicopter in service since 1984.
The pilots said they were staying in town Tuesday night and leaving in Wednesday morning because of daily flight restrictions.
They also said the cockpits are not comfortable, so the four-hour flight is sufficient.
The aircraft they’re flying are AH-64D or Deltas, estimated to have been built in the mid-2000s. The cost of those aircraft, when new, was about $30 million each.
