Developed by Bell Helicopter as an interim gunship solution, the AH-1G entered U.S. Army service in 1967 and was rapidly deployed to Southeast Asia. Its slender fuselage, tandem seating for pilot and gunner, and heavy armament made it a radical departure from the armed utility helicopters that had preceded it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePowered by a single Lycoming T53 turboshaft engine, the AH-1G could carry a chin-mounted turret with a 7.62 mm minigun or 40 mm grenade launcher, plus rocket pods and additional guns on its stub wings. It was designed to escort troop-carrying Hueys, provide close air support for ground forces, and engage enemy positions with speed and precision. Cobras flew more than one million combat hours in Vietnam; roughly 300 were lost to enemy action or accidents during the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe AH-1G earned the nicknames “Snake” and “Cobra” for its sleek profile and aggressive role on the battlefield. It remained in frontline Army service through the end of the Vietnam War and formed the foundation for later Cobra variants that continued flying for decades. Material from these Vietnam-era airframes carries the legacy of the first dedicated attack helicopter and the crews who flew them under demanding combat conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stadium Pen Blanks","offers":[{"title":"Sierra Clone 27\/64\" Tube","offer_id":42146379170025,"sku":"BellAH1G-Sierra","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Custom Tube Size","offer_id":42146379202793,"sku":"BellAH1G-Custom","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bolt Action 3\/8\" tube","offer_id":42146379235561,"sku":"BellAH1G-Bolt","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/stadiumpenblanks.com\/products\/bell-ah-1g-cobra-attack-helicopter","provider":"Stadium Pen Blanks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
