Is there an Apache conducting a flying display at any airshow this year?
The Dutch were supposed to display at Farnborough and RIAT but their committment to UN peacekeeping has required them to forego any displays this year.

Even though we presenting the V-22, the Boeing Company has made a late effort to replace the Dutch at Farnborough with a leased US Army Apache. We are more restricted in our display than the Dutch, but will do our approved display. At the moment the plan has yet to be finalized but we will fly our display on opening and public days. We may fly the entire show but that has yet to be decided. The Apache will not attend RIAT but hope the V-22 will.
