AgustaWestland WAH-64D Apache AH1 ZJ203 UK AAC + Mil Mi-24V Hind 3368 CzAF | ILA Berlin 2016
A truly unique formation of two iconic former Cold War adversaries: an Apache and a Hind. The Czech helo was scheduled to perform after the WAH-64D, so the pilots organized on the spot an ad-hoc formation. They took off together, made a few flybys and then the Hind broke off and orbited as the Apache flew its display. Despite the backlight and the heat, it is a stunning sight to have these two helos in one frame flying over the iconic city of Berlin, the point where the Cold War began and met its conclusion.
Dedicated to Tim McMental, whose former regiment is flying the AAC Apache display and who lived through the dark days prior to the Wall coming down. This image is not only pretty to him, but it is a sobering reminder of just how well the Cold War turned out.
