Anyone else notice the modified (upturned) engine exhausts on the Apache shown in the TADS video footage? Presumably a mod to reduce further the IR signature from the rear.

Early Hueys were fitted with a Passive Anti IR on the exhaust. Pretty effective I'd have thought.

Early Hueys were fitted with the upturned exhaust? Now I feel really old. 'Early' Hueys had the straight exhaust and the tail rotor on the other side.

And in really early Hueys, the Bravo and Charlie, you hung in your straps in the cruise because Mr Bell built 'em to sit flat on the ground, which resulted in a nose down attitude in the cruise. Then came the Delta model. Looxury.
