Someone told me once, the dexterity required to fly a chopper = balancing on a ball while juggling ha ha.

 
Did you know that the South African Rooifalk out preforms the AH-64 on each and every last statistic?

It's faster, it's more agile, it can carry more weapons, it's cheaper, it's easier to fly, it's queter, better altitude, better armour protection, the list goes on and on and on and on. The Rooifalk makes the Longbow Apache look like a toy.

Shush you! This is about how amazing choppers are, not about how cool SA's attack heli is!

All of South Africa's army's military gear is superior to what anyone else has. The R1 rifle that was based off the FN-FAL is better then the FAL, the R5 rifle is known as the single best adaptation of the AK-47 on the planet, the NTW-20 is has the most power, accuracy and range of any anti-meterial rifle out there. It's just there isn't anyone in theis country who can use it and weapons export isn't particularly lucritive outside of the blackmarket.
 
G5 and G6. Accurate within 2 meters at ranges of just under 100 kilometres using rocket boosted ammunition. The next best competitor, the US Crusader, can only to 60km and than it looses accuracy. And the crusader was developed in the late 90s, while the G6 comes from the early 80s and from this little backwater country.

And in Iraq and Afghanistan, not a single person has been injured other than blow eardrums from IDE's while inside a derivative of our Caspir.

I remember going to the airshow in yzerfontein a few years back and seeing the Rooivalk in action with the demonstration. I far more enjoyed it then the jets that they had. Since then I decided that if I were to ever join the military (highly doubtful, unless I live to see World War 3) that I would go join the airforce. Would love to see those helicopters more.
 
Screw that. In a war situation I want my feet firmly on the ground, so that I can hide behind a crate for my health to regenerate.

Haha can see the call of duty influence. No I wouldn't be a pilot, (my vision isn't good enough) I would rather be the guy waving the ping pong bats. Just hope I don't get some annoying fly or mosquito buzzing around lol

I think the chopper buzzing around will damper the sound of the mosquito, don't worry :D
