If we've got all our missions equipment and a full crew, it'd be closer to 65-70% TRQ. That heat kills us too...
Oh yeah believe me I know I see the black smoke pouring out of both engines when the med birds do their vertical climb to about 50 feet. Sometimes our guys have to burn gas before they can even leave depending on the wapons they got. Caring a Mike model Hellfire and 7 rockets left a couple of birds running up 15 minutes earlier than normal depending on how much they picked up at the farp after downloading weapons.

Oh yeah. The MED birds are older A model Hawks. Weaker engines then the ones we have. Those guys 100% no matter where they go. Black smoke everywhere. Lol

Yeah, whenever we went to McHenry, y'all would fly in, FARP and then sit forever to burn it off. Apaches have to do it every now and then on really hot days.
