Very nice pics you made there everybody.
can someone tell me the function of the cable bellow the cockpit of the Apache.

i thought it was some calibration device for the main rotor.

The calibration device for rotor tracking is visible on picture 04 (the small yellow device forward of the front cockpit, with the wires going into the front cockpit) I don't know the function of the cables on the demo Apache.

I don't see a cable? Just a gun....

You're right, but the cable on shot 1 comes from the same point under the cockpit and goes to the back of the heli. Maybe some kind of monitoring device??

Just my two cents: I believe it is a camera to shoot onboard footage during the demo. The wire may be running from the camera to the recorder stored in the compartment in the tail.

What's the serial of the demo AH-64?

Perfect composition and fantastic propblur, next to perfect lighting and contrast

I can only agree, even though the pics of the other guys are nice to look at too, to me a picture is so much more than just the plane in the picture. I always encourage anyone to lower the shutter speed and try to get some nice blur and movement in the picture. With frozen rotors, it just doesn't do the plane justice. But that's just one guy's opinion.

On a different note, wow... the Demo Apache has a horrible c/s! The redskin on the tail is allright but the orange (what that? dayglow?) panels make it look kinda cheap.
