Rank 3 in the Aviation Heroes collection, this plate documents the Czech Air Force's newest bite: the Bell AH-1Z Viper delivered to the 22nd Helicopter Air Base at Náměšť nad Oslavou through the 2019 H-1 package that paired four Vipers with eight UH-1Y Venoms. First skids-up at Bell's Amarillo line in April 2023, first wheels-down at home base that July — gray-green NATO camouflage replacing decades of Hind red-and-olive on the 221st Helicopter Squadron ramp. The layout reads like a Jane's cutaway briefing stripped to essentials: configuration band, operational-role icons, and a three-quarter hero that shows exactly why Prague traded Mi-24 rotors for composite four-blade heads and AGM-114 rails.
