The Apache Attack Helicopter Display Team will be exploding onto the aerodrome this August Bank Holiday when the solo display joins the Wings & Wheels line-up on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th August at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Guildford, Surrey.<\/p>\n
Whilst treating visitors to heart stopping aerobatic manoeuvres, the team will also be demonstrating the might of the helicopter\u2019s fire power. In a series of simulated air to ground missile attacks using the aptly named Hellfire missiles, rockets and a 30mm chain gun, this display is not for the faint hearted as it culminates in fire balls and explosions!<\/p>\n
The team will also be demonstrating the helicopter\u2019s ability to high hover, twist, pedal turn and wingover tied together with fast action flypasts. Drawn from a pool of suitably qualified and experienced, operationally ready, Apache aircrew and ground crew, the team is not on permanent assignment like other display teams and uses aircraft drawn from the operational Apache Squadrons.<\/p>\n
Jamie McAllister, Event Director comments: \u201cThis is an explosive display that not only demonstrates the incredible skills of the pilots but also the capabilities of the helicopter and its fire power! It\u2019s definitely a thrilling addition to the Wings & Wheels airshow line-up.\u201d
\nVisitors to Wings & Wheels can also enjoy other air displays including the Red Arrows, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (two Spitfires and Lancaster), Chinook (Saturday only), Tigers Parachute Team, The Blades, B25 Mitchell and much, much more.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Wings\u2019 of the event would not be complete without a close-up inspection of all the weekend\u2019s visiting aircraft including the Royal Navy Wildcat, RAF Puma, Apache, Dunsfold\u2019s resident Sea Hawk, and Hunter as well as the infamous Boeing 747, the Brooklands VC10 and Aces High DC3, all open for tours.<\/p>\n
