AHDT

We are sad to announce that the @ApacheDisplay will not be fielding a flying display for the 2021 season. Our first priority continues to be providing Attack Aviation at Very High Readiness. Keep an eye online for more updates! @ComdJHC @1st_Aviation @ArmyAirCorps

Sadly the AHDT won’t be providing a flying display for the 2020 season.⁣ ⁣ Our first priority will always be to provide Attack Avn at very high readiness. We must focus our resources on this capability. We’ll be back as soon as we can.⁣ ⁣ Stay safe. Stay at home.

Any flight, even ones considered routine always start with a crew briefing. Conditions of the day can be discussed and responsibilities distributed through the crew or patrol members. The crew are then ‘authorised’ by another qualified pilot to go and execute the sortie.

We are very pleased to announce that @ComdJHC has granted a Public Display Authority to the 2019 AHDT in some particularly challenging weather conditions. Bring on the summer. #attack #acrossallboundaries @ArmyAirCorps @ComdAHF @BritishArmy @dcomd_jhc @neilsexton659 – at Middle Wallop, England

We are happy to announce that the AHDT is back for the 2019 season. Training starts next week at Middle Wallop so stay tuned for details on the Team and our schedule for the year. #attack #goodtobeback @hop_aac @ComdAHF @ArmyAirCorps @4RegimentAAC – at Middle Wallop, England

With the ground school and simulator phase complete, the first two British Instructors have taken their first flights in the AH-64E at Fort Rucker, Alabama. They are qualifying on the aircraft in preparation for the AAC receiving the new Apache in 2020. #attack #AH64E. – at Fort Rucker, AL

Although the Team aren’t displaying this year, it’s still business as usual. Here’s some photos of rocket firing in the USA on the 4 Jul - the irony wasn’t lost on us! #attack

It’s with huge regret that we have to announce we won’t be displaying the Apache in the 2018 season. We will retain the capability and aim to be back in 2019. Thanks for all your support #ahdt #attack facebook.com/AttackHelicopte…
