Acog? Aimpoint?

They are sitting a bit too close to the engine intake

Not really, you can be suprisingly close to the intakes with no ill effects on either the engine or the person. For instance, six inches would be a good minimum distance.

its where they are supposed to sit and it's not like they are holding on with their hands either, they are attached to the helicopter, the air intake couldn't suck them in even if it wanted to

Awesome pics. I have a question though. How are they strapped on to the Apache?

I believe this thread is very relevant to the photos that have been posted and will answer a lot of questions that will probably be asked.

Yup, as our resident rotor-head AlphaOneSix mentioned in that thread, no attachment required, they're just sitting on the bird.

I remember seeing some US SF guys doing that in Afghanistan a little over a year ago here. Ballsy stuff.

Aimpoint. They're yanks though, not Marinos.
