An air cooled airfoil used in a gas turbine engine includes a showerhead arrangement to cool the leading edge. A cooling supply cavity supplies cooling air to the airfoil, and is metered into an impingement cavity through at least one metering hole from the cooling supply cavity. A plurality of second impingement cavities are located between the first impingement cavity and the leading edge, and each second impingement cavity includes at least one second metering hole to meter cooling air into the second impingement cavity. Each second impingement cavity includes a plurality of film cooling holes to discharge cooling air to the leading edge surface of the airfoil. The second impingement cavities are located adjacent to each other, with one on the leading edge, another on the pressure side, and the third on the suction side.
