Video highlights of U.S. Marine Corps AH1Z Vipers providing close air support during an instructor pilot flight exercise in support of the WTI course at Yodaville, near Yuma, Arizona, 2021.

The exercise is part of WTI, a sevenweek training event hosted by MAWTS1, providing standardized advanced tactical training and certification of unit instructor qualifications to support Marine aviation training and readiness, and assists in developing and employing aviation tactics.

The Bell AH1Z Viper is an American twinengine attack helicopter, based on the AH1W Super Cobra, that was developed for the United States Marine Corps. The USMC replaced the twobladed AH1W Super Cobra with the AH1Z Viper, which features a new, fourbladed composite rotor system, uprated transmission, fourbladed tail rotor, fully integrated glass cockpit, upgraded landing gear and a new advanced fire control system.
