Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

The calibration device for rotor tracking is visible on picture 04 (the small yellow device forward of the front cockpit, with the wires going into the front cockpit) I don't know the function of the cables on the demo Apache.

You're right, but the cable on shot 1 comes from the same point under the cockpit and goes to the back of the heli. Maybe some kind of monitoring device??

Just my two cents: I believe it is a camera to shoot onboard footage during the demo. The wire may be running from the camera to the recorder stored in the compartment in the tail.

I can only agree, even though the pics of the other guys are nice to look at too, to me a picture is so much more than just the plane in the picture. I always encourage anyone to lower the shutter speed and try to get some nice blur and movement in the picture. With frozen rotors, it just doesn't do the plane justice. But that's just one guy's opinion.

On a different note, wow... the Demo Apache has a horrible c/s! The redskin on the tail is allright but the orange (what that? dayglow?) panels make it look kinda cheap.
