Ya, but an improved version called Longbow. The round sensor radome on top of the Rotor is a giveaway.

It is a Japanese Apache Longbow with a Camo paint scheme and Stingers on the wingtips.

Errrrrr?! No its not a Japanese Boeing AH-64D. Aside from anything else it hasn't got Stingers on the wing tip.
Going on its configuration, lumps and bumps its a Westland WAH-64 Longbow Apache AH1.

I do believe your right... plus the rocket pods with the rounded nose cone are only fitted to the UK Apache as far as im aware.

Hello all,
Had to rush and get the camera out but this is the only snap i could get as it was not hanging around as it flew over my house.
Are you able to identify what Helicopter it is.
I have resized it from the original to make it look slightly better on the screen for you.
Thanks.
