For a period of 5 years the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) leased 12 AH-64As from the US Army. The Alpha's were assigned to the Tactical Helicopter Group at Gilze Rijen and carried US Army serials and KLu titles. They arrived in one group from Germany on 13 Nov'96. They were used for training and operational deployment awaiting the delivery of the new Dutch AH-64Ds. The first 6 AH-64As were returned to the US Army in Sep'00. The final 6 were returned in Feb'01. This 25485 was later modified to AH-64D within the US Army and became serial 01-05254. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
