A shelfed attack helicopter I made a while ago for a challenge. The AH-17 is an light attack helicopter based of of the XH-61. The AH-17 is a production model of the XH-61. Around 72 were ordered from different branches of the U.S. military. Sadly all aircraft but the original prototype model were lost in a warehouse fire. The prototype was bought by an organization who wishes to be anonymous. From what I found they still use it.
