Is it any better than the movie Firebirds, with Nicholas Cage?

Not a movie. Documentary film about a large military assault including Apaches.

yeah, this a documentary of the 6th Cav Attack on mission to support troops on the ground just South of Baghdad. Many of the pilots had never seen combat and much went wrong logistically. Several of the issues became fixes on the next models, the LONGBOW gave us high res eyeballs and BlueForce Tracker among other things. Made things a bunch safer and easier to operate on mission because you could see clearly in all environments and you knew where every coalition vehicle and aircraft and troop was at all times. No more guessing where the troops on the ground were located in danger close fires. You could SEE them infrared. Every trooper had, at the least, a small patch on the top of the helmet that stood out like a spotlight when seen infrared.
