Make no mistake about
it. The AH-64D Apache Longbow is the most lethal, deployable,
survivable, and maintainable multimission helicopter in the world.
Operating at close quarters in a river canyon, the Longbow Apache
demonstrates its improved performance and handling characteristics
over its predecessor, the AH-64A. With its advanced FCR system,
which can track and store up to 256 different targets, the Apache
Longbow is 28 times more capable than the battle-proven AH-64A
Apache, for years considered to be the worlds best combat
helicopter.
There are two
elements that are hidden in this painting: an animal (no, not the
eagle), and the profile of an Apache Indians face. The face is
visible at this resolution. The hidden animal might be more
difficult to spot.
Reproduced in
exacting detail on 100lb Museum Quality Archival text, each
lithograph is individually signed by the artist, Dru Blair.
"Redemption- synonymous with liberation and deliverance, hints at
the Longbow Apaches capacity to restore freedom, or to rescue those
in peril." ~ Dru Blair 2000 |
