In 2013 an airshow was held in Cosford, England where along with numerous aircraft, a static and aerial display of the AH1 Apache was carried out by ZJ171 from the 662 Squadron. The crew of ZJ171 was Staff Sergeant Jamie Boakes and Captain Harry Wales (Prince Harry) as he is affectionately referred to. ZJ171 is WAH #6, the first WAH-64 Apache delivered to British Army at GKN Westland Helicopters at its Yeovil facility. In 2007/2008 Captain Wales spent 10 months on the front lines in Afghanistan. Designed to meet a US Army requirement for an advanced attack helicopter, the AH-64 was first flown on September 30th, 1975. Called "The Apache," this formidable helicopter replaced the AH-1 Cobra as the principal attack helicopter for the US Army. At the time of its introduction, the Apache was revolutionary, with an innovative helmet mounted display and improved crash survivability. It is heavily armored and has been called a "Flying Tank," not only because of its defenses but also because of its ability to inspire fear on the battlefield. The Apache has become a symbol of Army airpower, serving in both Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
