Don,
AH-1W were fielded in 1985 and is currently the only one being fully flown at this time by the CORPS. AH-1Z will be fielded by (Will recheck my other sources if
sooner.) July 2011. I'll give a ref here, more refs will be on my list I'm working on very slowly while I'm taking a break.

Going to put further responses on the "HELO game related" thread, otherwise will wait until my work on patch list page 3 is ready and requested for.
Have think about lunch and get ready for work.
