  • Country: the Netherlands

The Royal Netherlands Air Force is sending one of its awe-inspiring combat helicopter to the static park of the International Sanicole Airshow 2025 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its first flight: the AH-64 Apache.

The Apache is brimming with advanced technology to detect and engage enemy forces with unparalleled precision, night or day in all weather. Dutch Apaches, based at Gilze-Rijen, have been involved in several international operations including Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and Mali. With its sophisticated weapons and heavy armour, it has earned the respect of crews who have flown it all over the world during daring missions.

The fleet is currently undergoing a major upgrade to bring them up to AH-64E standard, the most modern variant of this legendary helicopter.

Make sure to admire it up close and chat with the crew.
