New colours for the Apache
New colours for the Apache
Hello UKARians,
Today, the Dutch Apache Demoteam flew their first demo above homebase Gilze-Rijen, presenting this year's brand new colour-scheme.
It's way better than last year's scheme, but in my humble opinion it proves to be hard to make an Apache pretty.
Nevertheless, despite a very low budget, the R.Neth.A.F. has done a beautiful job.
And this year, they will visit the U.K. as well, so you can also enjoy their show !
Greetings,
Antoine

Re: New colours for the Apache
I really like shot #4. I wasn't especially impressed by the first pictures I saw of the demo scheme (under dull grey skies), but with a bit of light on it, it does look mighty good!

Great colour scheme, although wouldn't it have been great if it were in retro "Grasshoppers" scheme given RIAT's birthday year!

Re: New colours for the Apache
Looks a cracking paint scheme - lovely shots too. #3 is ace.

Re: New colours for the Apache
So much better than last years' scheme, but as others have said, it is a shame we won't see these dramatic manouvres at RIAT.
Re: New colours for the Apache
Thanks for the kind comments...
Re: New colours for the Apache
Great photos terrible colour scheme just like last year - its almost like they are trying to send a subliminal message of "this aircraft is mostly harmless and child friendly" rather than this is a potent helicopter painted in air force green - which looks far better and more attractive to me
Re: New colours for the Apache
Good grief, not used to seeing a Apache dressed up like that. Now where's 16 Air Assault Brigade's email address...
