On Saturday, the Utah National Guard took four of their new Apache helicopters for a spin. 20 more are on the way.
WEST JORDAN, Utah — The Utah National Guard has been serving the state since 1894 with roots dating back to the Minutemen of the 17th-century American colonies. This weekend, they received quite the boost in the form of the Army's most advanced attack helicopter.'These aircraft are extremely fast compared to our other aircraft,' said Col. Patrick. On Saturday, the Utah National Guard took their new Apache helicopters for a spin.
'They've got software on there that it's like playing a video game. You just fly the video game and the airplane... is fast and smooth, which is the good thing, and so it'll just hold the altitude and airspeed and just keep on trucking along. It's pretty good,' Patrick said. The first Apache helicopters arrived in Utah back in 1992.
