    Col. Shane Openshaw, Apache Helicopters Project Manager, accepts the log book and keys from David Koopersmith, Boeing Vice President for Attack Helicopter Programs, during the Apache Block III Roll Out Ceremony Nov. 2 at the Boeing Apache production facility in Mesa, Arizona. The Apache Block III incorporates 26 new technologies and is the only rotorcraft with the ability to operate at 6,000 feet and 95 degrees at an out-of-ground effect hover with a full mission payload. The 1st Battalion, 1st Combat Aviation Brigade from Fort Riley, Kansas will be the first unit equipped with the Block III aircraft.
