I figured that out after I posted the question.
The Apache is ugly, but it is so beautiful in it's utility, somewhat like the
A-10.
Although, I don't find the A-10 as unattractive as do so many others. In fact,
I feel it is so perfect in it's design I would love to see it brought back into
manufacture in an updated version. The F-35 will never replace the A-10 as so
many like to claim.
