In 2014 the third consecutive Athens Flying Week air show took place from September 25th - 28th between Faliro and Tatoi airport. Part of the participating aircraft involved the Greek Army Aviation Display Team "Pegasus". The "Pegasus" Display Team is comprised of helicopters and crews from the 1st and 2nd Attack Helicopter Battalions from the Hellenic Army and given special markings for the occasion. This air show is considered the best in the south eastern part of Europe. AH-64DHA ES 1009 was manufactured as BuNo 92-0494 c/n PV884. 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.
