The misnomer in that pic is the airframe cannot carry all that in one mission. In High Hot conditions the loadout is vastly diminished. I tried to calculate a MAX loadout on a AH 1 S with just 2.75 rockets and weighed out before I cubed out on the aircraft. 2/9 Cav Fort Stewart GA. God bless you Denny, Wherever you are.
