Seen in action at Ysterplaat Air Show on 23 September 2006 complete with simulated rockets and canon fire! This helicopter was designed and built in South Africa as an alternative to the Apache. See www.denel.co.za/Aerospace/Rooivalk.asp or www.army-technology.com/projects/rooivalk/ for more information.
