US President testing The New $80 Million Helicopter : Military Aircraft Operations Revealed

Get an unparalleled look at two of the most advanced aircraft in the US military arsenal: the MV-22 Osprey and the AH-64 Apache.

This video showcases the elite HMX-1 squadron's green MV-22 Osprey, famous for its role in presidential transport as "Marine One." Witness its incredible vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities on the deck of an aircraft carrier. We also follow an MV-22 as it executes a complex probe-and-drogue in-flight refueling.

The feature then shifts to the formidable AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. We go behind the scenes to see what it takes to keep this gunship mission-ready, from being unloaded from a C-17 transport plane to intensive ground maintenance, weapons loading (including Hydra rockets and 30mm cannon rounds), and ground refueling.

Finally, see these incredible machines in action, from the Apache's dusty, low-level takeoffs to the pilot's advanced helmet-sensor targeting system. This is a deep dive into the technology, maintenance, and power of elite military aviation.
