I am a retired Army master aviator Chief Warrant Officer 4. Mainly flew AH-1 Cobras and AH-64 Apaches. I flew for over 20 years and never had a major incident. Lost a nose gearbox one night on the #1 engine in Bosina. Brought the power lever for that engine down to flight idle and flew for another 25 minutes to Tuzla main airport which had a long runway and did a roll on landing. Never was in any real danger. Loved every minute of my 20 years of service!
