Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

  • Saved you a click: Five “notable” crashes

    CNN estimated this year’s major Apache crash rate to be approximately 6.24 per every 100,000 flying hours. Thus far in fiscal year 2026 [Oct 2025 - 2026], five Class A flight mishaps involving the attack helicopter have occurred. The Apache, through August 15, had flown approximately 80,171 hours. Fiscal year 2024, by comparison, had a rate of 7.02 major crashes per 100,000 hours for the aircraft.

    As far as I can tell, the official data combines multiple categories of incident into the total - the “Class A flight mishap” is what we think of as a crash (helicopter fall down, go boom), and the unreported rest are everything from "Huey Louie landed too rough for nosegear-kun >_< " to “engine fell out and they plummeted, but lived”. It’s not a great article, but it looks like they’re doing the best they can with the data they have.
