Photo Comment

Flying over Bogota at low altitude, FAC4124 is an AH-60L Arpia III, as the armed version of the Black Hawk is called with the Colombian air force. Ex 00-26852 was first intended for delivery to Venezuela as EV-9958 but was redirected to Colombia after the Venezuelan order was cancelled. On 26 February 2015, this helicopter was presented as the first Colombian Arpia IV upgrade.
