Should some day some how a P-51 come to fight an AH-64, who would
win the fight?

Assume the combat starts with both sides seeing the other at beyond
gun range. Assume equal pilot skill. Assume the only missiles on the
AH-64 are some TOWs.

The AH is probably toast but it's certainly no easy engagement.

Isn't the AH-64 supposed to be armoured against 12.7mm ammo? The P-51
certainly wouldn't be protected against the 30mm HEDP fired by the
helo. It would be a question of whether the helo could land a hit
before being slowly chewed to pieces by multiple .50 strikes.
