"Blue Eagles" |

|
The Army Air Corps’ helicopter display team, The Blue Eagles, was
formed by instructors at the School of Army Aviation Middle Wallop in
1968, using five Bell-47G3B1 Sioux helicopters. Following various changes
in format and aircraft types (including Sioux, Scout, Gazelle and Lynx),
the team has since continued under the names Eagles, Army Eagles, Sparrow-Hawks
and, for the team’s 25th anniversary in 1993, The Silver Eagles.
In that year, using the current format of one Lynx and four Gazelles,
the team won the prestigious Wilkinson Sword at the International Air
Tattoo, for the best display by a UK participant.
