Snakes Alive! - AH-1W Cobras

[TonyO]

Just a few shots of a recent favourite subject of mine, the AH-1W Cobra and its replacement the AH-1Z Viper in a range of locations but mainly from Afghanistan, Camp Pendleton and the Yuma ranges during Exercise Scorpion Fire. These aircraft are from a range of units, including HMLA-267 'Stingers,' HMLA-269 'Gunrunners,' HMLAT-303 'Atlas' and HMLA-367 'Scarface.'

First up, a handful from Afghanistan...









Camp Pendleton and 'Scorpion Fire'















And finally one of 23 AH-1Z in the inventory...

Very nice indeed, Mr O.

[Macc]

The AH-1Z looks so smart! Lovely stuff Tony.

[RJC1878]

Superb!

[RickIngham]

Awesome stuff you lucky man! ...still don't think they can compete with 670sqn Squirrels!

[POD]

Nice

[Bartek]

Great! Lucky you!

[Maisie]

Brilliant stuff (again) Tony, Would of loved to have gone when I was in the RAF.

[nigelblake]

Lovely shots! That front cockpit looks like a tight fit!

[Mark K]

Great set mate, Your Afghan stuff is always good to look at. Those Vipers look rather nice!

[toom317]

Some nice pics there, and the first one shows what looks like a very cramped office space.

[DILLIGAF]

Excellent shots of a rare beast to these shores.

[Wes_Howes]

Lovely stuff Tony, those Zulus don't look right with a 4 blade main rotor

[chilts]

Beauties Tony

[Koen L]

Lovely shots. I think the Zulu really destroys the nice lines of the Whiskey Cobras though.

[RichPittman]

Well done on a super selection Tony!

[Tim Laurence]

Really good set of pics Tony, especially the ones from Camp Pendleton and the AH-1Z

[IanOlder]

Wow, pretty much every angle covered there Tony. Very nice

[hornet]

I like this chopper ! What a beast !

Amazing set, really !

[Hanzi]

superb Pics here

[Vixen1]

What a superb set. One thing that has never changed with the Snake is the tiny front cockpit. The 1Z is a real beast but I'd bet it doesn't sound as good.

[SamP]

Very nice indeed! Love the 3rd A2A shot.

[BatmanIX]
