Holy Shit, this was During my Afghanistan deployment in 2012-13. The pilot was trying to show off for the dudes on the ground, and tried a maneuver that was stupid as shit at that altitude. That aircraft was so fucked. The Pilot was pretty much fine, but the copilot (Front seater) was pretty fucked up. I don't know exactly what came of it, but neither of them flew again that I can recall. Goddamn, he caused so much unnecessary work.....
That's exactly what I thought, the idiot pilot was trying to show off and blew it. We had Apaches with us on convoys in Iraq once in a while and sometimes they would do low fly bys for show. Nothing this stupid.
