Maggie AH-1F Cobra Attack Helicopter: Amazing Demo Display

Flyby Looks Amazing!

This footage captures the AH-1F Cobra, nicknamed “Maggie,” in action during the Rock Hill-York County Airport’s 65th Anniversary event. The video showcases the startup, takeoff, and a thrilling flight demo, highlighting the agility and presence of this legendary gunship.

One of the standout features of this Cobra is its striking “tiger stripe” camouflage. It’s arguably one of the best paint schemes ever seen on an aircraft, adding to the chopper’s aggressive look.

The flyby is particularly impressive, though the rest of the flight appears somewhat heavy and slow. Additionally, the rotor seems slightly out of balance—likely a reflection of the older track and balance systems used during the Cobra’s era. Despite that, seeing this historic attack helicopter in flight is always a treat, even without its firepower on display!
