Watch the full start-up sequence of "N11FX" the BELL AH-1F COBRA of The Flying Bulls based out of Salzburg Airport in Austria.

The Bell 209/AH-1F Cobra is arguably America’s most legendary combat helicopter. For years it was the US Army’s classical combat helicopter. Produced in several versions since 1966, the Bell AH-1 Cobra earned itself a legendary reputation in the Vietnam war. With the delivery of the first Apaches the Army gradually began to part company with the Cobra; the Marines and some other countries still use this model.

The Flying Bulls’ new acquirement is a Bell 209/AH-1F, which was built originally in 1967. It was “Modernized” in 1976 by conversion to the “S” Model, called the “AH-1 S". This Cobra was transferred by the U.S. Military to a Mechanic School for use as a training aid. It was discovered in derelict condition by well known American Helicopter Collector, Brian Reynolds in 2010. Starting in 2019, this Cobra was fully restored and customized for The Flying Bulls.
