This week I was talking to a Major with B company, 159th Air out of Georgia. He said in Afghanistan they would fly 14k to 16k feet and 140 knots at max gross weight (54k lbs). The Apache and Cobra pilots that were flying escort, bitched because they couldn't keep up.

Oh BTW, he also said they were told to get ready for Iraq, the first week of October '02.
