→Overview: Added citation to table in Overview, showing the AH-64D used both T700-GE-701C and -701 engines. Cites TM 1-1520-251-10 dated 29 MARCH 2002 "OPERATOR’s MANUAL FOR HELICOPTER, ATTACK, AH-64D LONGBOW APACHE"; publishing the TM may violate Titles 22 and 50 USC

→Overview: No citation is given to specify that the -701 was not used on the AH-64D. That's because any such source would be false. I will owe the citation, but in the meantime I insist that we put the correct information in the table.

→Twentieth century: AGAIN the sentence states "No" when the article referenced states "Night vision. Almost all of the pilots who deployed into Albania were not qualified to fly with night-vision goggles." Almost =/= No. Therefore the change in wording. Citation is 107 currently, "Apaches are Ailing Warriors" article from Stars & Stripes. No need to cite the same source twice for one statement.

Boeing AH-64 Apache
→Overview: The table incorrectly excluded the T-700-GE-701 from the AH-64D. In 2000, the AH-64D was usually flown with the -701 unless it was equipped with the Longbow Fire Control Radar. FCR-equipped aircraft were required to use the -701C, but non-FCR aircraft could and usually did use the same -701 as most AH-64A Apaches.

→Twentieth century: The sentence incorrectly states that "No" pilots were qualified to fly with night vision goggles. The cited article claimed that *ALMOST* no pilots were qualified to fly with night vision goggles. Edited sentence appropriately.

→Twentieth century: The removed sentence incorrectly states that an Apache crashed in April in Albania due to a tail rotor failure that caused the fleet in the Balkans to be grounded. There were numerous errors here. 1) There were 2 AH-64A crashes in TF Hawk. 2) Neither was attributed to a T/R failure. 3) The T/R failure crash that did lead to SOF AH-64-00-01 was at Fort Rucker, AL. 4) Aircraft throughout the fleet, worldwide, were affected. 5) Sources contradict the sentence.Tag: references removed
