Just a quick Apache question

[Broadsword2004]

I am just wondering, and yeah I did google this, but no answer came up for me, but does the Marine Corps use AH-64A Apache helicopters as well as the Army? I ask because I could swear I read that somewhere, but now I can't find anything relating to it.

I C; I don't know why, for some reason I had thought they used the Apache too. Maybe I DID read it somewhere and the author of the article was just wrong. Thanx

Another quick question about the Apache... Do you think that the marines will ever start to use it?

Too expensive. They couldn't afford it.

Broadsword: This may be redundant, but ... F.Y.I. ...try the link: USMC HELICOPTERS

The Marine Corps is about to get the Z model Huey and [Super]Cobra. Not even a cold day in hell will see us purchasing Apaches.
The AH-1Z is a better package than the Longbow anyway. Not only can we "not afford" the Apache, what we couldn't afford is the maintenance costs! It's almost as bad as the Harrier's maintenance to flight-hr ratio. The Super Cobra is proported (sp) to be the cheapest military helo to maintain ever, beaten only by the new Huey.
